Who doesn't suffer...??

I live in PH area of Maidstone & work in Ashford; my journey time & fuel consumption have dramatically increased. Every day in either direction; I get stopped by a breakdown or accident or slowed down by a wide load taking up both lanes. Some people drive under the 50mph limit (breaking when they hit the speed cameras!!) and others drive at 70mph (mainly HGV's & coaches) it really is awful to drive along. I feel for the people down the A20 so I try not to use it. I don't bother using the motorway at the weekends as I can't stand this anymore. I have family just outside of Folkestone that I haven't been to visit in ages.

Drivers use any back road to avoid the motorway & queuing which impacts anyone living in Maidstone Trying to move around the town; especially if the motorway shuts is gridlock hell - my worst time was 1hr 45mins to get from PH to Grove Green; total joke!

From a work perspective; it causes so many issues for the business. We import fresh produce & then supply the supermarkets. We suffer constant delays; which impacts both us & our customers.

A solution has to be sorted & soon. We can't continue like this forever.
