How much longer will the Ministry of Transport ignore
this hopelessly inadequate so-called Trunk road, which has
to carry nearly90% of the heavy goods vehicles to and from
Dover - the busiest freight and passenger port in the whole
of Great Britain‘? Exactly the sort of dreadful accident
so long anticipated occurred in Bridge High Street at 3.00
a.m. this morning when a TIR meat lorry ploughed_ into the
shop of Mr. and Mrs. C. Lewis, instantly wrecking their
home and their livelihood. Their 15 year old daughter,
Angela, escaped death by a miracle. The driver of the
TIR was killed. 
For how much longer must village streetse be used as
motorways, and how many more people must be killed before
authorities accept responsibility? Motorways are being
built all over the country; why not here .in the South East of
Kent? Next January we enter the Common Market; what
price the A2 then ‘?
Public opinion can alter cases. This has been proved.
Demand action now! Start by demanding that all TIR veh-
icles should be banned from the A2 until it is made totally
adequate. Help your Member of Parliament to help you, by
writing to him - today. If you, and you, don’t push
nothing will happen, except accidents.
Write to: Mr. David Crouch, M.P., House of Commons. London, SW1
and The Minister of Tronsport Industries, St. Christopher
House, Southwark Street, London, SE1
and keep on writing!
