Stop Operation Brock & find alternative solution to traffic build-up in Kent

Closed 97 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop Operation Brock, in which the M20 is used to stack lorries when there is problems at Dover, and find an alternative solution to the build-up of traffic on the M20 when travel across the Channel is disrupted.
Operation Brock can cause serious traffic problems, extra pollution and noise issues for Kent residents and awful conditions for lorry drivers. This system was once called operation stack then was rebranded to operation brock. Fundamentally the same thing, causing the same issues, there has to be a better solution, you just don’t find this sort of thing abroad because there are much better processes in place.
