The Portsmouth port's 25m border control post may face demolition following a recent government agreement with the EU that eliminates many health checks on food imports. Mike Sellers, the port's director, noted that over half of the facility remains unused, labeling it a 'white elephant.' Built to accommodate post-Brexit regulations, the facility was expected to handle thorough checks but has since operated at minimal capacity. With the new deal potentially rendering the facility obsolete, Portsmouth city council must decide whether to repurpose it or demolish it for operational land.
Mike Sellers expressed concerns regarding the utility of the 25m post-Brexit border control post in Portsmouth, hinting that it might need to be demolished due to reduced checks.
The post-Brexit border control post, intended for stringent checks on imports, now faces potential demolition as Keir Starmer's EU deal reduces requirements for health checks.
