Resolve the traffic congestion grid lock problem in and around Dartford.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Whenever there is a problem with the M25 (Dartford Crossing) and the A2, the roads in and around Dartford become gridlocked.
Drivers try to get off these main roads & cut through Dartford & the surrounding roads, which clog them up. Drivers clog up the roads trying to get onto M25/A2. It's a mess.
The roads in and around Dartford have got progressively worse, but there has been a marked increase in the frequency of "grid lock" since the Dartford Tunnel / M25 roads were altered.

The roads need to be altered so that the A2 and the M25 traffic issues do not instantly and catastrophically snarl up Dartford and the surrounding areas.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure what action you would like the Government to take to relieve the traffic congestion.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
