300 Skilled Jobs To Be Created For Dart Charge

Over 300 skilled jobs are being created in the UK ready for Dart Charge.

It will launch later this year to improve journeys at the Dartford Crossing.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced that sanef, who are providing the scheme's vehicle detection, charging and enforcement services, is investing over £1 million by creating its new customer support centre in Leeds. The Highways Agency is creating a further 23 jobs at its National Traffic Control Centre in Birmingham.

Dart Charge will improve journeys and reduce congestion at the Crossing. It is part of the biggest programme of road enhancements since the 1970’s. Instead of stopping at payment booths it will give drivers more flexibility about how and when they pay the charge.

Mr Clegg said: "I'm pleased to announce today that Sanef, the French motorway operator, is building its new £1 million frontline customer support centre in Leeds. This centre will create up to 300 jobs, including 10 new apprenticeships, and support Sanef's future operations in the UK."
