We're going to find out next week what it might be like if lorries have to be parked on the former Manston airport site if there's disruption crossing the channel after Brexit.  

There's going to be a trial run on Monday of the government's plan to use the site to park HGVs before they head to the port of Dover.

More than 100 vehicles will be taking part to see what impact it has on local roads.

Previously there's been concerns the plan could cause significant disruption.
