We the undersigned petition the council to Council to require Kent Highways to permit access to the residents at the Bridge Community to use part of the Kent Fastway route to go into and out of the estate during peak times - currently there is only one access route which is constantly blocked by traffic from the Dartford Crossing; preventing patients from attending medical appointments, parents dropping/picking up children and residents unable to get home. Reasonable access is requested via an alternative route which exists but reserved for Fast Track buses only. Only a small portion of this route is required and can be limited to peak times as a compromise.
The Bridge Community has over 1500 homes and residents are
trapped in or outside of the estate during peak time travel at
least 4 times a week. Residents are very distressed; they are
unable to enter or exit the estate. Reasonable access is required
for dwellings and access out of the estate is necessary in case of
emergencies. Currently this is not possible with increasing and
constant traffic issues. This will only worsen with the new Amazon
warehouse close to completion. A solution is need by the county
council.
