Queues At Dover & Calais

As usual I’ve been travelling in the area East of M20 Junction 10A all week and listening to the local radio traffic reports. These say that what delays there are at Dover are due to: “high demand”; with no mention of any other cause so popular among certain sections of the population and Press. This I would back up by the number of lorries seen travelling in both directions. 10 A is always busy with lorries using Waterbrook and the lorry park. In spite of this there is more disruption and annoyance caused to local traffic generated by the repeated roadworks to the section of the old A20 linking J10 with J10A, while yet another essential facilities infrastructure installation for the new housing estates closes off the road yet again, requiring local traffic to follow the gyratory diversion around the new road layout for about a mile in order to bypass 50 yards of closure.
