The Operation Brock barrier will be removed this weekend due to a decrease in expected tourist traffic, the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF) has confirmed.

Young people from Dartford and Gravesham have learned how to keep themselves safe and have become better prepared for emergencies thanks to a new initiative in the area led by their local Kent County Council (KCC) Community Wardens.

The Operation Brock contraflow system will be put out on to the M20 as close as possible to the busy cross-Channel getaway period to minimise disruption to residents this summer.

To mark the Volunteers' Week, the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF) is paying tribute to its incredible Kent Voluntary Sector Emergency Group (KVSEG), which brings together front-line voluntary sector , organisations to support communities and engage in incident response and recovery.

The Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF) has confirmed the Operation Brock contraflow system will be set out on the M20 in anticipation of high passenger numbers heading through Kent to Europe over the May half term and Spring Bank Holiday.

The Kent Resilience Team was delighted to host its second Building Resilient Communities Workshop for parish councils on behalf of the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum.
