Plans to use sites in Dover off the main road network to hold traffic if queues form due to new border controls are being considered.

The Port of Dover has particularly tight space constraints, and already experiences long delays at peak times.fill in a dockMs Malhotra, the minister for migration and citizenship, said: “We are keeping off-road sites under review so that, should they need to be used, we have a contingency plan for that.
