Port of Dover announces fifth consecutive record year for freight.
Nice to see DHB doing well. Freight has to move but I like to know when
are they going to provide enough lorry parking space to stop Dover TAP and parking
for the poor lorry drivers?

Who and where did you have in mind and using what funding?

At the end of the day businesses are responsible for the actions of their customers, pubs, night clubs even fast food premises can be closed down due to anti social behaviour. Obviously the Port can't be shut down but heavy fines can be levied and passed on to the residents of Aycliffe that have to put up with horns going all throughout the night.

Ok, so that sounds like DHB then, although the fines (collected by whom?) seem to be going to Aycliffe instead to fund more lorry space when traffic fluidity dips. Same question though - where?

I am sorry Howard, but for once I can't agree with you that businesses always can. I live in Whitfield and the surrrounding lanes are littered with Big Mac rubbish. As much as I hate this, you cannot expect Big Macs to manage that!

I was trying to explore Mr McS's suggestion in his post no.3, Mr D.

DHB are using A20 as a lorry park creating noise and pollution. I am all for lorries moving but when Lorries are idling they also create more pollution. It is not the fault of the lorry drivers. but the fault of DHB and the government. No forward planning and we will have more lorries passing through in the future. More pollution for the Town and Aycliffe. I have never said the fines go to Aycliffe.
In 5 years the amount of freight has increased by 33%.. What will happen in the future?

At present all we at Aycliffe are asking for is TAP to be moved back along the A20 away from a residential area. It can be done. TAP is a just a sticky plaster because of no forward planning. It has also got worse since Ramsgate was closed. They even built a new road and tunnel so that the harbour traffic would avoid Ramsgate.

As a librarian I am familiar with repository problems, BD, but I think that you must mean either 'respiratory problems', which as an asthmatic I know something about, or 'suppository problems', but that's something I know nothing about.

I was once prescribed suppositories but for all the good they did I might just as well have stuck them up my back passage.
