The Heavy Commercial Vehicles in Kent (No. 3) (Amendment) Order 2020
This Order amends the Heavy Commercial Vehicles in Kent (No. 3) Order 2019 (the “2019 Order”) to enable the movement of cross-Channel lorries in Kent to be controlled by further regulating access to the motorway network in Kent. A cross-Channel lorry may be used on the coastbound carriageway of motorways in Kent only if a valid Kent Access Permit has been issued in respect of it. This permit is obtained by providing information from or about border documents to the Secretary of State’s goods vehicle border readiness internet site. In addition, this Order allows a cross-Channel lorry carrying only priority goods to be issued with a priority goods permit which will allow it to use the London-bound carriageway of the M20 Motorway between Junctions 8 and 9. Finally this Order makes ancillary provision relating to enforcement.
