Why this petition matters

Started by Westwell Resident

Those of us living along the M20 Corridor between J 8 and 9 are tired of hearing that the old, concrete surface is adequate and will only be replaced when funds are available.  Noise levels are not taken into account and have now become unacceptable for those living near the motorway.  Everyone deserves some peace in their lives.  The concrete surface is outdated and not fit for purpose.  There are many more vehicles, especially large trucks, that use the motorway now than when it was first built.  We need action not vague promises.

How much money must have been wasted during the countdown to Brexit?  Operation Stack, with its endless cones?  Operation Brock with the permanent barriers?  All now taken down and removed to be replaced with yet more barriers over the past few days.  Whats next?

Defra, as part of its Noise Action Plan has identified that areas between J 8 and 9 require investigation.  We have an identified problem!

Damian Green, our local MP has met with Highways England who released a statement that 'work is expected to take place in 2021/22, subject to availability of funds'.  Not really a a commitment by Highways England.  He will be meeting them again later in September in the hope of getting a more definite time frame. He needs our support so please sign this petition.
