Contingency plans put in place to protect the port and community of Holyhead will be modified gradually over the next month, following a period of review and the completion of a stacking site on Parc Cybi. 66 vehicles are now able to be stacked on Parc Cybi should it be required and a further 64 spaces will be ready by mid-February. Work to scale back the temporary contraflow on the A55 will begin on January 31, reducing by one junction so it runs from Jct 2 – 3. Over the next two to three weeks, if conditions do not change, it will be removed completely. Original data from the UK Government forecast a turnaround rate of between 40-70 per cent for HGVs which were not border ready.
