Proposals on the design for the new Stanford West lorry area.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

This consultation is about plans to alleviate the problems caused by Operation Stack by designing and building a dedicated lorry holding area at Stanford West, near Folkestone.

In almost all cases, this will keep Kent residents moving and get rid of traffic congestion caused by cross-Channel disruption. Businesses keep investing in the area and jobs can be created, leading to greater prosperity both in Kent and internationally.
