FUEL CRISIS: Government are ignoring latest fuel supply shortages say FairFuelUK

The Government is continuing to ignore fuel supply shortages seen in some parts of the UK, say FairFuelUK.

Motorists have begun seeing patchy supply of petrol and diesel across the UK. Garage fuel supply to pumps have been most severe across the South Midlands towards South of UK.

According to campaigners FairFuelUK, university counties Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire seems to be hit hardest, with intermittent supplies significant in Norfolk, Plymouth, Leamington, Sussex, Hampshire and Greater London.

It is believed diesel supply seems worse than petrol as Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil anti fossil fuel groups cause disruption to the UK's 37million drivers.

Climate protests blocking major fuel depots, has put further strain on current supply issues due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and rising demand since coronavirus restrictions were eased.

Howard Cox, Founder of FairFuel Campaign, said: "What the hell is the Government playing at? Surely, they have learned the lessons of last year's HGV shortage episode when motorists were queuing to fill up needlessly. It's now more than crucial they act and inform drivers factually what is happening, Priti Patel must order the Police to protect the fuel supply chain and ensure there is no need to panic buy. Why is she not becoming more organised and proactive to safeguard uninterrupted petrol and diesel supplies to our forecourts?”
