Nineteen Local Authorities to receive £136,362 each to help with Brexit chaos
Nineteen local authorities facing impacts from a local air, land or sea port will receive a share of £3.14 million to help them prepare for Brexit, the Communities Secretary has confirmed.
This equates to £136,362 to the end of April for each major port of entry into the UK in their area, with an additional £1.64 million added from departmental underspends.
The allocations have been based on a number of factors including the amount of EU goods each port area receives into the country and its wider importance to the UK’s global trade network.
The local authorities which will receive funding are:
Dover, Folkestone and Hythe, Thanet, East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North East Lincolnshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, Ashford, Gravesham, Dartford, Camden, Manchester City Council, North West Leicestershire, Uttlesford, Hillingdon, Crawley, Tendring and Suffolk Coastal.
Ports of entry within these local authorities are:
Port of Dover, Eurotunnel, Ramsgate, Goole, Hull, Grimsby, Immingham (DBP, DfDS and C. Ro), Portsmouth, Southampton General, Southampton Container, Ashford, Ebbsfleet, St Pancras, Manchester Airport, East Midlands Airport, Stansted Airport, Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, Harwich, Felixstowe.
Communities Secretary, Rt Hon James Brokenshire MP, said:
"I am acutely aware a greater burden could be placed on the areas surrounding our ports."
