Europa discusses Dartford traffic woes with local MP

[ December 5, 2025   //   ]

Europa Worldwide Group recently welcomed local MP Jim Dickson to its Dartford headquarters to discuss how to ease congestion in the area.
Europa Worldwide Group’s 27,000sq m transit hub — the largest European groupage facility in the UK — is adjacent to the Dartford Crossing. Europa is a supporter of the Lower Thames Crossing, which has been successfully championed by Jim Dickson. The route was finally approved in March, with construction planned to start in 2026.
Every day, travellers and commercial vehicles are caught up in congestion in the area, causing long delays and tailbacks. The Dartford Crossing and the surrounding road network are notoriously busy and come to a standstill daily. Logistics UK estimates that up to £200 million is lost every year in productivity due to congestion at the Dartford Crossing, with businesses across the country experiencing the impact of delays.
During the visit, the team discussed business challenges, including local congestion around the industrial parks and delays at the Dartford Crossing, both of which have a direct impact on logistics operations and commuters.
