We demand a rapid solution to Kent being grid-locked by Operation Stack

Closed 45 signatures

What the petition asks

The continued disruption to Kent being caused by the daily attacks by illegal immigrants in Calais combined with the striking French workers blockading Calais port must be solved. The motorways and towns of Kent (particularly Maidstone and Ashford) are gridlocked on an almost daily basis.
