Kent Haulage Firms avoiding Calais as Migrant Situation Worsens

 

Kent hauliers say the situation in Calais is worse than it has ever been and some firms are avoiding the French port altogether until the situation improves, routing freight through nearby Dunkirk.

The problems are so bad now that the Freight Transport Association has warned drivers not to take rest breaks within 60 miles of Calais.

 

Bands of migrants are still congregating at the side of the road near the port in Calais.

 

When a lorry slows half a dozen men run towards it and attempt to prise open the back doors, desperate to get in any way they can.
