In Holyhead there are plans for the ferry port that show "just how shambolic" UK ministers have been on Brexit claimed the First Minister of Wales. 

As BBC News reports, Mark Drakeford said the UK government was "in a scramble to resolve" issues around the Anglesey port with one month to go until the transition ends.

It comes as the UK government is in talks to purchase a transport cafe near Holyhead for a customs site.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) said it was planning for the "staged introduction of full border controls in 2021".

The island's Plaid Cymru member of the Senedd (MS) Rhun ap Iorwerth said: "At this eleventh hour we've just seen blind panic."

But the local Conservative MP Virginia Crosbie said the new site would "bring much needed employment to the area".

Land is needed for a potential customs check on HGVs arriving from the Republic of Ireland in Holyhead Port, the UK's second-busiest passenger ferry terminal (Afloat adds after Dover in Kent). 

Anglesey council has rejected a request to allow the park-and-ride for the island's showground to be used to host a post-Brexit lorry facility.
