Many people over the years have pointed out that the Bypass will only help Borough Green and Platt, but we have always been wary that "slips" were a ploy to delay or stop our Bypass. However, it is a terrible failing of the motorway network that Sevenoaks and the Villages on the A25 corridor have gained little or no benefit from the desecration of the Holmesdale Valley by the M26/M25.

BG-TAG Chairman Tim Shaw has begun a campaign to join all the communities on the A25 corridor together in an attempt to persuade the Highways Agency to incorporate Slip Roads at Junction 5 whilst they are in the process of redesigning the M26/M25 junction. Most of the affected Parish Councils have now joined the campaign.

The link below will take you to maps showing the possible layouts, and the pros and cons of each project.
