doug bannister is the ceo of the port of dover.og of vehicles is begining to clear. after the terrible destruction from yesterday and all the impact it had on travellers and truck drivers and our local communities, i am very pleased that the french border police have turned up with a strong complement of officers to man the booths. we have had 12 in from the early hours and another four on the way. so processing time has improved, however, today was always going to be the busier day. we have 10,000 tourist vehicles booked to go outbound today. yesterday we handled about 8,500. we do have quite a significant backlog of lorries, mainly on the m20. it will take them a while to get through, but we are processing vehicles fairly smoothly right now so we are trying to get everyone away as quickly as possible. more from our correspondent in dover, simonjones. well, it is another really busy day here at the port of dover. they are expecting 10,000 tourist vehicles to pass through, that is more than yesterday when there were huge problems.

from dover, here's ramzan karmali. the queues on the motorway leading into dover. itself today, and for many holidaymakers trying to get away, this has become the worst possible start to their summer break. but most travellers knew they were going to face a long wait. i'm assuming at some point we're going to stop and sit in traffic for hours and hours and hours. but so far we keep creeping forwards, and it's been fine. the police seem to be doing a good job and getting the tourists actually moving and stopping the lorries coming in on the a2, because they were all told to come in on the m20. and how long would this journey normally take you? about two hours. so we're now into four hours, but it's fine. cars and lorries continue to try to get through the border control here at dover. in fact, 8,500 tourist vehicles tried to make the crossing yesterday. and today that number is expected to be higher at 10,000. so officials are warning there will be delays. and it's feared that these types of delays could become commonplace throughout the summer. 3,000 lorries are al

it was something the mp for calais said, this sense that dover port and the physical spaceis that doveral space is no longer enough for the demand national are placed on it, notjust by holiday traffic or people going across on the ferry but by the commercial needs as well. we should bear in mind the lorries have been put back down the queue, some have been waiting for 18 hours or more, the tourists is a been prioritised to get people on the ferries for their holiday, in terms of improving capacity here, the french said an offer had been made to place more french border control staff here just a few months ago and that has been turned down by the port authorities and the british government because it would have meant putting more border posts in position, which they weren't able to do because there is such limited space here at dover, and so much pressure on, so perhaps longer term it is going to need a bigger look, if they are going to carry on with the passport checks as they are at the passport checks as they are at the moment, if we are going to see this level of demand continuing th

the port of dover.hey are bringing emergency border police direct to the port of dover to try to start to man those booths and start to clear that backlog. and we've just had this statement from the leader of dover district council, councillor trevor bartlett, who says there is dismay, desperation and anger in dover today. he says: "hours of planning by the kent resilience forum for the busiest weekend of the year for cross—channel travel have gone out of the window within hours, with the port of dover calling a critical incident. alongside the delays for tens of thousands of tourists, the local community is the biggest loser. residents can't get to work, children are stranded on school buses stuck in the mayhem and businesses are suffering. stagecoach has suspended bus services in dover altogether. i wrote to the kent resilience forum three weeks ago to express my concerns and to call for a more proactive approach to keep dover clear. those calls were not heeded. serious questions need to be asked abou

at the dover.n the channel tunnel meant french border police were delayed going to dover. yes, there is no correlation between the two events. there was a technical incident at the tunnel early in the morning, but the problems at dover and the declaration of the critical incident had happened way before that, several hours before that, so the two things happened, they are coincidental, but there is no correlation between delays at the tunnel and a major incident at the port of dover. what all this suggests though is that the infrastructure that is in place to get people from the uk to france and back again is very fragile, that it does not take much for things to go wrong and to see the chaos that we are seeing. is this something we should just expect more of as more people decide to travel post—covid and the pandemic, and there is more demands on the services of ferries and the eurotunnel? i think you have to look at the way the infrastructure was created. this infrastructure is created for border

the good news in dover is that the local roads are moving normally this morning. into saturday. it's around folkestone that there are real problems at the eurotunnel terminal because people are having huge problems actually reaching the terminal in the first place. the reason for that is part of the m25 motorway has been shuttered to become a giant lorry park and it is currently being used to park around 600 lorries that have not been able to get across the channel. all other traffic as a result whether heading to dover or folkestone, or whether it wants to get around kent is being put onto local roads and the local roads are simply struggling to cope. we have been speaking to families and one family told us they arrived at folkestone about 9am yesterday, they finally got onto a train at 6am this morning and they had to sleep in their car. eurotunnel say once people get to the terminal, the trains are running and people are finding it difficult to get to the terminal in the first place and as a result the kent resilience forum is beginning to hand out food and dri
