CPRE Kent has responded to Kent County council’s consultation on its Freight Action Plan.

HGV selection by Barry V

We expressed concern about the negative impact of HGVs, including:

• the increased wear and tear on the county’s roads;
• air pollution;
• the number of serious traffic incidents;
• the danger, noise, litter and nuisance of fly-parking;
• damage to rural verges and hedgerows.

We also stressed again our opposition to a single gigantic lorry park as a solution to Operation Stack.
