Were there hold-ups in first week after Brexit?

It’s been a week since the UK ended its transition period and completed its separation from the European Union.

British companies found themselves having to fill out customs forms to export to European countries, but we have not seen big queues on motorways in Kent that some feared.

In many ways, it’s been business as usual at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel. A steady stream of lorries has been boarding ferries and trains to France.

But the new year has also brought new checks for hauliers. Predictions of gridlock in Kent have failed to materialise, but traffic is still exceptionally low – probably down to stockpiling in the run up to Christmas.
