Post-Brexit lorry queues have become so bad that a charity specialising in earthquakes aid and helping war refugees has been drafted in to look after suffering drivers.
RE:ACT Disaster Response has agreed a £180,000 six-month contract with Kent County Council to ease stuck truckers’ nightmare waits to board ferries and Eurotunnel shuttles in Dover.
The charity was brought in as the council warned covid lockdowns had masked the true severity of hold-ups caused by Brexit – with up to 50 days of gridlock now expected every year on motorways leading to Dover.
