There are delays at the Port of Dover again, leaving a long tailback of lorries.

More traffic is currently heading to the port ahead of the long Easter weekend, with travellers warned to leave extra time for their journeys.

And with Dover TAP in place, the system of queuing lorries on the A20, residents living nearby have revealed the knock on effects for residents.

A woman living in Aycliffe, the suburb next to the A20, recorded the continuous sound of a horn from one of the HGVs.

She said: "Local residents are fed up of the constant noise pollution, over the Easter weekends and the summer holiday weekends, when people go away and come back.

"Cars, lorries, buses travel through our small town and disrupt it in so many different ways.

"We residents and businesses can't carry out our daily routines.

"No other town has this problem so why should we?

"They should build a motorway that filters the port traffic only, and remove the access from any other road, problem solved!"

This morning, P&O and DFDS both reported longer waiting times at the port.

A statement from Port of Dover said: "This Easter weekend will be busy.

"Extra measures are in place and Passenger Champions are ready to welcome and help you.

"During the busiest travel hours on Friday, there may be a few hours of waiting. Please, be patient. We're working hard to get you on your way."

This comes after a critical incident that was declared last weekend at the port, with some passengers facing waits of up to 14 hours.

As well as this, schoolchildren going on school trips were reportedly left without food for more than five hours.

On Monday, government officials confirmed Brexit played a part in the chaos.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesman said: ""We recognise there are new processes in place - that's why authorities were given a long time to prepare for the new checks, including during the transition period, of course.

"We are in discussion with our French counterparts about how we can further improve the flow of traffic."

The Bank Holiday weekend is expected to once again see high levels of traffic, forcing bosses to hold an urgent review with ferry operators and French border control.

A spokesperson said operators including DFDS, Irish Ferries and P&O are contacting coach customers to encourage them to rebook.

It comes as 400 extra coaches are expected this Saturday.
