HGV drivers have been urged to be 'border ready' at Portsmouth after the Brexit changes came in on New Year's Day.

Hampshire Police has issued a reminder to drivers travelling to the EU via Portsmouth Port.

New signage has been put in place at the port, to help drivers get border ready and access the new system.

The rules changed on January 1.

There is also a temporary system of lorry checks in place, to help prepare drivers and minimise congestion and delays.

The plan is in place to deal with freight travelling to the Channel Islands, France and Spain.

A consortium of emergency service teams, council officers and industry experts are known as the Local Resilience Forum.
