Operation Stack: Manston Airport proposal "will hopefully benefit majority of those impacted"

RAC chief engineer David Bizley said: “The Government is to be congratulated at being creative and coming up with an option that will hopefully benefit the majority of those impacted by Operation Stack, both users of the motorway and local residents and business trying to go about their daily lives.

“Anything that gets the lorries off the road is clearly good news for motorists because if up to 2,000 lorries are at Manston they are not blocking up the M20. However, the road from Manston to Dover is not a good one and it will disrupt other traffic trying to use these roads, so let's hope a permanent solution can be found before too long.”
