Early Day Motion 579

Operation Brock

Tabled 13 July 2026 by Sojan Joseph

That this House express its disappointment that Operation Brock will be in place on the M20 from 14 July until 24 August; notes that the continued use of the contraflow system causes delays and widespread disruption to residents and local businesses in East Kent; further notes that in 2025 the cost of deploying and operating Operation Brock was more than £3 million; is concerned that despite reassurances that planning is underway to find alternatives, Operation Brock continues to be used during the school holidays; and therefore urges the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum to work with National Highways, the Department for Transport, and other agencies to deliver a workable long-term solution that removes the need for Operation Brock.
