| Updated: 16:22, 11 March 2021 Kent's most snarled-up level crossing looks set to take the strain of more than 1,000 new homes after councillors made the shock decision to reject the final part of a £30 million bypass. The traffic hotspot, in Sturry, is often gridlocked as motorists heading in and out of Canterbury get stuck at the barriers. More than 20,000 vehicles use Sturry level crossing a day. It is one of the top 10 most-used crossings in the UK And the issue is now set to worsen after county councillors this week refused permission for a relief road diverting vehicles away from the railway station - just a month after their city counterparts approved two huge housing estates nearby.
