The transport summit at Westminster successfully raised the profile of our enough is enough campaign, the problems of Operation Stack and limited connections from Kent to the rest of the UK. Kent Police, Shadow Secretary of State Theresa Villiers and Labour and Conservative Kent MPs were among those who attended and spoke.

The event attracted more than 50 delegates from government, the public sectors in Kent, industry leaders, transport operators and locally affected businesses. It was clear from the turn out and the powerful arguments raised that we must continue to press for solutions to Kent's transport challenges. The consensus was that there must be a way forward to charge foreign lorries for using UK roads, raising some £50-60 million a year to pay for improved infrastructure provision which should be spent in areas of the country most severely affected, ie Kent!

We will be using the event to continue to press our case with government for solutions to Operation Stack and improved transport connections with the rest of the UK. More information about Kent County Council's "Enough is Enough" transport campaign can be found on our Enough is Enough page.
