Port of Dover: Motorways and Trade

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will provide full details of the traffic flows and delays affecting motorways within 30 miles of Dover over the last 12 months, broken down by month; and whether they will provide full details of the monthly trade flows, both inward and outward, through the port of Dover, over the last 12 months.

Answer

The Department does not hold data on the traffic flows and delays affecting motorways within 30 miles of Dover over the last 12 months. The Kent Resilience Forum (KRF) is responsible for traffic management in Kent.

The Department collects and publishes quarterly statistics on traffic at all UK major ports by direction. Data on the flows in and out of Dover for the last four quarters is provided in the table PORT0502 below. The next quarterly statistics will be published in September covering April to June 2022.
