Glitch in post-Brexit customs system adds to major Channel lorry chaos on Kent roads
The Independent says problems with a key post-Brexit IT system for customs checks are contributing to Easter traffic chaos in Kent as thousands of lorries are parked up awaiting Channel crossings.
A 23-mile coastbound stretch of the M20 was closed from junction eight (Maidstone) to junction 11 (Westenhanger) heading for the Port of Dover or Eurotunnel as part of Operation Brock, causing chaos on surrounding local roads.
The A20 Roundhill Tunnel is closed under the Dover TAP scheme to prevent HGVs jumping the queue.
