Dover, Kent, UK: HM Revenue & Customs has revealed that plans to build a customs clearance park in Dover with capacity for 1,200 lorries have been downgraded.
At a meeting with Guston parish council, HMRC representatives confirmed that the site will now have capacity for just 96 trucks, with 20 extra spaces for reversing trucks – just a quarter of the original space.
HMRC officials told local people they had “learned the lessons” from the vast Brexit lorry park 22 miles away in Sevington, near Ashford, according to an article in the Guardian.
Building work on the site is not due to start until February or March next year.
