The government of the UK said they are going to build a huge wall in Calais to try to stop migrants sneaking across the Channel between France the UK, Daily Mail reported.

The wall will replace fencing that has failed to stop stowaways targeting lorries. Before Britain's vote to leave the EU there was a surge in incursions – mostly from the 'Jungle' camp near Calais that houses 10,000 migrants.

It is reported the wall will be five meter high with a length of about one kilometer. The project will cost UK taxpayers £2 million. Construction of the wall will start by the end of 2016.

It is noted that there are many critics who consider that this project is waste of money. So, Kate Gibbs of the Road Haulage Association said that the wall was a 'scandalous waste of taxpayers' cash' that would simply shift problems farther down the road.
