Was the M20 built as a lorry park?

We live in Langley Heath and join the M20 at junction 8 Leeds Castle. It is utterly ridiculous for a motorway to become a lorry park so that we have to go in the opposite direction before we can join it to go in the direction of Dover. Petrol is money and fumes are bad for the environment. Villages along the A20 get completely isolated because of diverted traffic and narrow country roads get used and damaged by this traffic. What happened to Manston? Too much prevarication. And it’s time there was proper infrastructure on computerisation so that all paperwork can be completed as it is obvious that it should be when the lorries start their journeys so they could make an almost non-stop journey to their destination. And the French just love to make issues. And what about the lorry drivers themselves? It must be hell for them spending hours in their cabs. The haulage industry will be on its knees. Brock is a rubbish way to solve a problem. Surely land could be acquired for a huge lorry park. Landowners are only too willing to sell for building purposes. And if not there should be compulsory purchase. And where should the money come from? The Department of Transport seems to be able to cope with motorway and rail projects. So get them on to this.
