Aug 23 - Frontier Delays Continue
23 August 2013
This morning at 10am, frontier delays were back in full force. Queues to enter Gibraltar were caused by strict Guardia Civil checks of both vehicles and motorbikes. Officers were also on hand to stop pedestrians on their way into Gibraltar to question the purpose of their visit.
According to the RGP Twitter, queues leaving Gibraltar have a current waiting time of 1.5 hours with tailbacks reaching the runway. By 10am the third lane had already been implemented, holding up taxis, and commercial vehicles entering and exiting the frontier.
The Government this morning noted that they have already received over 20 complaints regarding the frontier queues, via the new procedure.
