Logistics firms are calling for the government to be honest about logjams at the UK’s borders with the EU.
Industry body Logistics UK said that it needed to be able to plan for capacity and blockages, especially when import checks come into force in July.
On New Year’s Eve residents of the small village of Guston near Dover were informed that the fields near their homes would become a customs clearance lorry park for 1,200 vehicles.
More land purchases are likely as the government attempts to prevent blockages on main roads and at ports.
