Delivering growth without transport gridlock

The transport improvements coming on stream will attract more businesses and jobs to Kent but we need to do more. We will:

• Publish an integrated Transport Strategy for road, rail, air and sea that addresses the key transport solutions that need to be implemented over the next 20 years to make Kent a great place to live, work and visit.
• Lobby for smarter ways of funding road schemes such as the Britdisc (a charge on foreign-registered lorries to use UK roads) that could raise £40m annually for vital infrastructure improvements including a third, lower Thames Crossing.
• Maximise the potential of high-speed Channel Tunnel Rail Link services to act as a catalyst for further regeneration in the north and east of the county.
