Traffic is heavily congested around Dover this afternoon causing significant delays.

Motorists at the Whitfield roundabout reported it took 15 minutes to get across the roundabout from the A258 Deal to Dover road.

Lorries are blocking the roundabout as they head to the port.

The delays come as protests continue at the Port of Calais and it is believed people are blockading the port.

The protests over job losses mean there is now traffic delays in Dover.

P&O Ferries has advised its customers to allow extra time for journeys.

They said: "Roads in and around Dover are heavily congested- please allow extra time for your journey to the Port."
