Went to Immingham for #bbcnewssix - Govt efforts to mitigate No Deal risks identified in Yellowhammer depends on storage here & did depend on emergency freight for “Category 1” critical trade:
1. Medicines
2. Med devices
3. Veterinary meds
4. Water chemicals
5. Power plant parts

The old emergency no deal freight contract ran out without being used and new one lasting 4 years and costing £300m is currently out to tender - assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Also obtained more internal council planning showing moderate concern re water supplies - shd be manageable if disruption less than 6 weeks. ...but eg Dudley council risk register: “constraints on supply of drinking water due to short shelf life (4-6 weeks) of imported chemicals” 
... Social care problems again mentioned in Yellowhammer, and in the council No Deal documents for example the Isle of Wight council warns of the “extreme” impact on care of the the failure of a social care provider ..
And then this one from North Ayrshire Brexit risk document - fears that tensions in n Ireland - also detailed in Yellowhammer - could see “greater sectarian tensions including in West of Scotland”.
