Dartford Crossing’s impact on the Bridge Estate
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Permit second access for residents of the Bridge Estate as the one access road is constantly blocked by traffic arising from the Dartford Crossing. It stops residents from accessing the estate for prolonged periods. Reasonable acces is requested via an available alternative route.
Permit free access for the residents of the Bridge Estate via the alternative route.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions relating to the building of local roads is a matter for the relevant local authority, in this case Kent County Council, not the UK Government or Parliament.
