Background

When Brock is put into place between Maidstone & Ashford, it causes increased traffic around Ashford, especially when an accident occurs.
The local people are in uproar when Brock is implemented, it causes more issues to the roads London bound & A20 from Maidstone, whereas the traffic m20 coastal just sees an odd lorry travelling on it making it a waste of time & money. 
The cost is £250,000 at each deployment. 
Brock is most efficient when France strikes, not during school holidays!
