Businesses across the West Country are reporting disruption to their trade as a result of the migrant problems at Calais. Firms that import and export are seeing delays in stock arriving or their products stuck on the motorway in Kent waiting to leave the country.

At this time of year at MJM Sports in Bideford the company supplies football teams across the region and the country with kit for the upcoming season.

It's experiencing orders arriving up to seven days late which then has a knock on for its customers and their need for that kit.
