Checks on food arriving at Dover will be carried out on the outskirts of Ashford When checks on food entering the UK from the EU begin on Tuesday, lorries will have to drive 22 miles from Dover to border control posts at Sevington on the outskirts of Ashford. Anyone found to be carrying unsafe or contaminated food could be asked to turn around and drive back again. The government has not explained how lorries will be monitored between the port and its control post, or how it will ensure goods that have been identified as unsafe leave the country.
