France will stop lorry movements from the UK for 48 hours in the wake of fresh concerns over the spread of a new strain of coronavirus in the UK.

The move means outbound traffic from Dover will stop.

Ministers and officials will discuss the move at the government's COBRA emergency committee on Monday.

Freight from France to the UK will be allowed, but there are fears lorry drivers will not travel to avoid being stuck in the UK.

The Port of Dover is closed to traffic leaving the UK "until further notice" due to border restrictions in France, port authorities said in a statement.

"Both accompanied freight and passenger customers are asked not to travel to the port," it said. "We understand that the restrictions will be in place for 48 hours from midnight.

Pleased you've put that up - got this from CCM by text at 17.46 tonight......

We are holding our usual Monday Primestock Markets over the festive period, with both tomorrows sale and the sale a week on Monday (28th) starting immediately after the cattle (11:30am).
Handyweight Lambs looking a very good trade for tomorrow, and all other classes should be along similar lines with retails butchers looking for supply pre Xmas. Unsure if London Lockdown will affect commercial heavy trade, but still regardless they should be ok.
Cast Sheep required in large numbers this week with trade on a strong note (last weeks average £84) with heavy and medium ewes/rams selling especially well.
Thankyou


Not had the follow up text as yet.
Tomorrow's lambs had probably better stop where they are then :facepalm:
