• Overweight lorries entering the UK through Britain's busiest Channel ports are being blitzed by Kent County Council. Prosecutions by the local authority rose considerably in the year to 31 March, from 788 to 919, with fines totalling 2250,000.
Immediate prohibitions were slapped on 800 trucks, compared with 500 the previous year.
The Department of Transport and the police also check lorries on the A2 and A20 near Dover and Folkestone.
