The UK government is contemplating the sale of the Sevington border check facility in Kent, constructed in 2021 for lorry checks post-Brexit. A new trade agreement with the EU could eliminate the need for health and veterinary checks on many agricultural imports and exports, potentially rendering the facility unnecessary. The government is now looking for companies to buy or repurpose the site. This shift could also affect up to 41 border control points across the UK, including a costly facility in Portsmouth, which may need to be demolished due to the changes in regulations.
The UK government is considering selling the Sevington border check facility in Kent due to a recent trade pact with the EU that removes many required checks.
Ministers are actively seeking a buyer or alternative for the Sevington border control point, indicating a significant shift in post-Brexit trade logistics.
