Gibraltar & La Linea traffic authorities to mitigate difficulties at border due to fair

The traffic authorities of Gibraltar and La Linea are to work together to mitigate difficulties caused by the fair across the border.

Diversions are in place that mean every car crossing into Spain has to make a left turn and then face multiple pedestrian crossings.

Number Six says meetings are being organised between the respective authorities to find short-term solutions for fair week.

It says in the longer term, over coming months, plans for new traffic and pedestrian arrangements across the border should alleviate these issues more generally.

The Chief Minister said he spoke to La Linea Mayor Juan Franco this afternoon.

He said this is an example of the cross-border cooperation brought about by the treaty, adding they're committed to working together for the benefit of everyone who crosses the frontier.
