Manchester Airport M56 warning for anyone travelling abroad this summer

Roadworks will be in place until mid August and for North Wales holidaymakers, this will require a long diversion on five nights in June

People from North Wales catching flights from Manchester Airport this summer have been warned of delays and diversions as resurfacing work gets underway on the M56. Holidaymakers are being urged to set off in plenty of time as National Highways upgrades a four-mile stretch of road that carries more than 100,000 vehicles a day.

The work will be carried out overnight and only on one carriageway at a time. The schedule starts on Monday, June 10, and is due to be completed by the end of August.

The UK government has brought in a temporary ban on holidaymakers bringing in cheese and meat products from the EU in a bid to prevent the spread of foot and mouth disease (FMD).

Travellers have not been allowed to bring back items such as cured meat and cheese, including in sandwiches, since Saturday due to the growing outbreak on the continent.

The restrictions apply regardless of whether the goods are packed or packaged, or bought from duty free.

It follows an earlier ban of similar products from Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria after rising cases of the cattle disease in those countries.

FMD is a highly infectious virus that causes blisters inside an animal's mouth and under their hooves, and can cause lameness and problems feeding.

It causes no risk to humans and there are currently no cases of foot-and-mouth disease in the UK.
