The Truth Behind Op Stack.Pdf
THE TRUTH BEHIND OPERATION STACK 1. What is Operation Stack? Operation Stack is an emergency procedure implemented by Kent Police to ‘stack’ coast-bound cross-Channel freight traffic on parts of the M20 motorway. History Although originally operated on the A2 by Kent Police before the M20 was completed, once the Channel Tunnel was built and the trunk road from the M20 through to Dover was completed, the M20 became the primary route for cross-Channel freight vehicles. A new version of Operation Stack was subsequently devised for the M20, initially comprising of a coast-bound closure between Junction 11 and Junction 13 as Phase 1 and, if required, a closure of the London-bound carriage way for Phase 2. Purpose Stack is activated when there is a significant blockage to the flow of cross-Channel freight traffic beyond the control of the Port that results in demand for space at either the Channel Tunnel or Port of Dover Ferry Terminal outstripping their parking capacity, resulting in traffic backing up onto the surrounding road network. It has been needed during times of stress such as:- Strike action in Calais Extreme weather conditions Channel Tunnel problems (e.g. migrant incursions, line failure etc) 1 2. Stack Today Implementation Operation Stack is activated by Kent Police based on information received from several sources including the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel. Good communication with Kent Police is essential in notifying of any problems that may lead to the need for Stack as it takes approximately two hours from the time of notification to actually closing the motorway and takes a considerable amount of police resource. -

The consultation process has facilitated feedback which has been carefully considered throughout the development of the M20 junction 10a Scheme (the 'Scheme'). Pre-application consultation is an important element of any Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project. Highways England has taken careful consideration to relevant legislation, guidance and notes when designing the pre-application strategy. Early consultation addressed the main strategic and audience interaction needs to deliver a meaningful and progressive engagement programme.

Investigations and Excavations During the Year
http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society INVESTIGATIONS AND EXCAVATIONS DURING THE YEAR I. REPORTS ON EXCAVATIONS SUPPORTED BY THE SOCIETY Interim Report by Mr. P. J. Tester, F.S.A., on, the Excavations at Boxley Abbey. By the courtesy of our member, Sir John Best-Shaw, the Kent Archmological Society has conducted excavations during 1971 at Boxley Abbey for the purpose of determining the monastic layout. Five members of the Excavations Committee have taken an active part in the investigation and assistance has been given by the Archaeo- logical Society of Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School, the Lower Medway Archwological Research Group and the Maidstone Area Archmological Group. A preliminary site-plan was prepared by Mr. J. E. L. Caiger who also conducted a resistivity survey. Excavation has consisted mainly of cross-trenching to locate buried footings, and by this means considerable additions have been made to our knowledge of the plan. In general, the arrangement as shown in the late F. C. Elliston- Erwood's plan in Arch. Cant., lxvi (1953) has been proved to be substantially correct, with several qualifications. The church was of the same form and dimensions as he showed except that the transepts were longer (north-south) and contained three eastern chapels each instead of two. Some walls discovered in a small excavation by Mr. B. J. Wilson in 1959 and 1966 are now seen to be related to the night-stair in the south-west corner of the south transept. -
COUNTRYSIDE Page 1 of 16
Page 1 of 16 COUNTRYSIDE Introduction 12.1 Shepway has a rich and diverse landscape ranging from the rolling chalk downland and dry valleys of the North Downs, through the scarp and dip slope of the Old Romney Shoreline, to Romney Marsh and the unique shingle feature of the Dungeness peninsula. This diversity is reflected in the range of Natural Areas and Countryside Character Areas, identified by English Nature and the Countryside Agency respectively, which cover the District. The particular landscape and wildlife value of large parts of the District is also recognised through protective countryside designations, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Heritage Coastline, as well as the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside also plays host to a wide range of activities and it is recognised that the health of the rural economy and the health of the countryside are inter-linked. A function of the Local Plan is to achieve a sustainable pattern of development in the countryside. This involves a balance between the needs of rural land users and maintaining and enhancing countryside character and quality. 12.2 This balance is achieved in two main ways:- a. By focussing most development in urban areas, particularly on previously developed sites and ensuring that sufficient land is allocated to meet identified development requirements, thus reducing uncertainty and speculation on ‘greenfield’ sites in the countryside. b. By making firm policy statements relating to: the general principles to be applied to all proposals in the countryside; specific types of development in the countryside; and the protection of particularly important areas.
