Employment figures for SIC 6024 (freight transport by road) show only a 5% increase
from 1991 to 2001 in Kent, well below the national increase of 26%, although here we
could identify stronger growth in the Channel Corridor of between 61% and 180%
albeit from low initial figures. In contrast the number of employees in cargo handling,
storage and other transport activities fell dramatically, especially in Dover from 1991
to 1995, possibly related to the fall in border control activities in the Single European
Market. Land use evidence for this sector (Figure 13) shows there was little activity
until 1998, a brief flurry of activity from 1999 until 2001 and then a falling away of
activity.
