Many of you have told me you're worried about heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) parking by the side of the M20 motorway at junction 8.
I passed your concerns on to Highways England, who are responsible for the maintainence of the road network. They have told me that they plan to instal solid metal barriers that will prevent HGVs from parking. They say the work is likely to begin before the end of the financial year.
This is good news, but to put an end to the problem we need more parking spaces for lorries. So I will continue to lobby the Government for investment in our roads so that we can keep Kent moving.
