I’ve long been a supporter of buses.

They can help reduce congestion on our roads, improve air quality, and provide a vital lifeline to people. But I know services have been under pressure in recent years.

We’re a step further to finally fixing the problems at Brenley Corner.

The junction has been included in the Government’s second Road Investment Strategy – securing funds for an improvement scheme to be developed.

People are fed up of sitting in queues on the M2 Junction 5. The junction badly needs upgrading to cope with the volume of traffic.

Highways England came up with a plan to improve this junction last year, which had widespread support.

I’ve stepped up calls to improve Brenley Corner.

Earlier this week I met the Roads Minister, Baroness Vere, to stress the need for improvement at this junction, which links the A2 with the M2.

Efforts to improve Brenley Corner have been given a boost by the Minister responsible for roads.

Roads Minister, Baroness Vere, has said she recognises “the force of the case” about upgrading this junction. This is really encouraging.

The barriers on the M20 will soon be lifted as the Government has confirmed that Operation Brock is being mothballed.

I know the barriers and speed restrictions have caused a lot of frustration, particularly to people who use the motorway to get to work.

We need to be ambitious about green transport in Faversham, but I’m worried Swale Borough Council are dragging their feet.

We’re still waiting for the two electric car charging points that were promised for the town in June.

Operation Brock is getting a £20 million funding boost as part of the Government’s preparations to leave the EU on 31 October.

Councils in Kent will receive an extra £2.6 million in new funding to help prepare for Brexit. This is another step in making sure we’re ready to leave the EU on 31 October. 

Lorry drivers who clog up Kent’s roads on their way to cross the Channel face a £300 fine under proposals announced by the Government.
