'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' AS A20 PILE-UP BRINGS TRAFFIC MISERY

The Leader of Dover District Council, Cllr Paul Watkins has spoken out following the A20 pile-up on Thursday saying : 'The following traffic chaos was yet another example of the inadequacy of the road networks into and out of Dover and it is time to say that enough is enough.'

Dover District Council continues to campaign for vital transport links to the area, including the dualling of the A2 and improvements to the A20. The crashes on the A20 resulted in significant additional traffic on the A2, which caused major hold ups in several locations.

The Council's Cabinet Member for Access, Cllr Nigel Collor, was among a small group of representatives who met with the then Roads Minister David Jamieson in February to inform him of the urgent need to improve roads into Dover to increase accessibility, avoid crashes and reduce congestion and air pollution.
