A portable barrier used to reduce traffic in Kent is being scrapped to save money.
The quick moveable barrier (QMB) was fitted between junctions 11 and 12 of the M20, by the Channel Tunnel, four years ago as part of Kent Police’s Operation Stack.
It allowed the London-bound carriageway to be used for coastbound traffic.
The Highways Agency has decided not to renew the lease of the QMB which costs taxpayers £600,000 a year.
