Wales has relaxed driving time regulations for hauliers to alleviate the freight backlog at Holyhead Port, which remains closed due to damage from Storm Darragh. Minister of State James Lawless announced a 14-day derogation on driving rules and highlighted the need for enhanced public transport to assist around 150,000 passengers. He emphasized the importance of receiving accurate information about repair timelines for the port, and ongoing discussions with Welsh ministers and ferry companies aim to identify alternative solutions for freight movement and passenger transport.
