The Port of Dover and Eurotunnel freight services have resumed normal operation today but Operation Stack on the M20 in Kent is still in place, Eurostar services are not running, the A2 and A20 into Dover remain very busy and police are continuing to advise motorists not to travel unless absolutely necessary so that backlog that built up yesterday can be cleared.

On Saturday - 19th December, long delays to drivers using the M20 were caused following the closure of the channel tunnel and severe weather preventing ferries from disembarking at Calais resulting in travel chaos around Folkestone and Dover.

Assistant Chief Constable Andy Adams comments: "There was some snow on the M20 and we worked with Highways to grit the road so that we could continue with the progress already made to clear the backlog of vehicles.

"We expect further delays to motorists today (20th December) using the M20 and would therefore reiterate the need to travel only if necessary. Anyone driving should take warm clothing and food."
