Dover eerily quiet on Brexit eve, but hauliers fear more chaos

Freight traffic mayhem subsides at Kent port, but concerns remain over lorry parks and paperwork

After a week of mayhem, the roads of Kent are eerily deserted, almost devoid of freight traffic as lorry drivers from all over the EU avoid Dover and the Eurotunnel as the Brexit transition period ends.

The only reminder of the potential for Brexit chaos are the miles and miles of detritus - plastic bottles, shopping bags, and even towels - strewn along the banks of the southbound M20 motorway to the cliffs of Dover.
