(MENAFN) A UK minister says Construction of a UK-funded wall near Calais' so-called Jungle migrant camp will begin very soon.
Dubbed the 'Great Wall of Calais' by some media, the 4m (13ft) wall will run for 1km (0.6 miles) along both sides of the main road to Calais port.
Home Office minister Robert Goodwill said security around the port was being 'stepped up with better equipment'.
The wall is meant to protect the road from disruption by migrants, thousands of whom live at the Jungle camp.
