French authorities say more migrants are attempting Channel crossings from beaches south and west of the usual departure areas around Calais and Dunkirk. In Seine-Maritime, authorities reported 58 attempted crossings so far in 2026, compared with 30 in 2025. [1]

UK arrivals by small boat from France totalled 19,135 from 1 January to 27 September, down from 32,188 in the same period last year.

The Home Office says joint efforts have prevented more than 48,000 crossing attempts since the election. It says a signed deal with France is intended to increase staffing on French beaches and add 45 officers in western coastal areas. [1]
