enters its eighth day. with the easter holidays on the horizon, its feared an influx of travellers could make the situation even worse. fiona lamdin is in dover. the council have said if things don t improve, if the traffic doesn t improve this weekend, they will be declaring a major incident. just to remind you how we got here, there are three contributing factors that have created this perfect storm. first of all there is a shortage of ferries. with p&0 sacking 800 of its staff, there is currently no service running between dover and calais. that is a real problem. where do all those passengers go? now, dfds chris parker, they have been trying to take the passengers from p&0, but they say this weekend they can t do that, they need to prioritise their own passengers. this is now the fourth week of this and up to now we have taken thousands of p80 passengers. the issue is, as we run into the peak weekend, we just have extremely high demand from our own passengers.
