The RHA has welcomed news that Calais will remain as the gateway into the UK.
“This has long been a matter of major concern to those hauliers that use the Dover-Calais crossing on a regular basis. It is the most efficient trade route between the UK and mainland Europe and many millions of tonnes of freight are carried on the back of HGVs each way, every year,” said Richard Burnett, RHA chief executive. “We have been working closely with officials at the Home Office and the exchange of intelligence has been invaluable.”
