Background
We want the Government to carry out an independent review of Operation Brock, restrict its use to genuine emergencies only, and develop alternative traffic management solutions that do not place a disproportionate burden on Kent residents and businesses. The Government should improve coordination with ports and border agencies, properly consult affected communities, and ensure emergency services and local roads are not routinely disrupted.
