Petrol and diesel drivers demand urgent action from Labour or risk 'fuel disruption'

TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The Strait of Hormuz has become a key chokepoint in the war, with only a handful of ships able to pass through its waters over the last month, severely affecting global oil prices.Drivers and motoring organisations across the UK have continually called on the Government to scrap the planned cut to the rate of fuel duty to provide temporary relief at the pumps.Under current plans, the 5p per litre fuel duty cut, which was introduced after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, will be rolled back over three phases, namely by 1p in September, 2p in December and a further 2p in March 2026. Richard Smith, managing director of the Road Haulage Association, emphasised the scale of the fuel price crisis, describing it as a national concern, and not just an industry issue.He said: The Prime Minister said last week that he’s keeping the fuel duty increase under review. We've moved far beyond the review stage - our essential industry needs action now from Government on fuel.We're clear: Scrap the fuel duty hike, back essential users with a targeted rebate, and, publish a clear contingency plan for fuel supply.Without a credible Government contingency plan in place, disruption to the affordability, resilience, or availability of fuel will impact businesses and communities across the country.GB News has rounded up the most expensive petrol and diesel prices from across the UK over the bank holiday weekend using data from the Government's Fuel Finder tool.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSDriving licence changes launching soon may cause chaos as motorists are 'nowhere near ready'Blue Badge update could see crackdown on millions of drivers to prevent parking fraudLabour urged to scrap Motability changes as thousands face new laws and costsMost expensive petrol pricesThorn House Filling Station, Penrith, Cumbria (CA10 1BL) - 199.9pFerrybridge Service Area, Knottingly, West Yorkshire (WF11 0AF) - 184.9pLeigh Delamere Service Area, Chippenham, Wiltshire (SN14 6LB) - 184.9pSevern View Service Area, Bristol, Gloucestershire (BS35 4BH) - 184.9pToddington Service Area, Toddington, Bedfordshire (LU5 6HR) - 184.9pBurton Service Area, Carnforth, Cumbria (LA6 1JF) - 184.9pBarton Park Service Area, Richmond, North Yorkshire (DL10 6NA) - 184.9pSouthwaite Service Area, Carlisle, Cumbria (CA4 0NT) - 184.9pTrowell Service Area, Ilkeston, Nottinghamshire (NG9 3PL) - 184.9pLymm BP Service Area, Lymm, Cheshire (WA13 0SP) - 184.9pMost expensive diesel pricesRacetrack Crowwood, Chryston, Glasgow (G69 9AD) - 209.9pShell Forfar, Forfar, Angus (DD8 1BF) - 209.9pShell Thieves Lane, Shrewsbury, Shropshire (SY2 6GF) - 209.9pRacetrack Rutherglen, Rutherglen, Glasgow (G73 3AA) - 205.9pRacetrack Autoport, Bellahouston, Glasgow (G51 1RP) - 205.9pRacetrack Bridgeton, Bridgeton, Glasgow (G40 3SA) - 205.9pRacetrack Braeside Services, Chryston, Glasgow (G69 9NB) - 205.9pPort Ellen Filling Station, Port Ellen, Isle of Islay (PA42 7DF) - 203pD D Evans and Sons Ltd, Service Garage, Lampeter, Ceredigion (SA48 7JA) - 202.9pAchiltibuie Stores, Ullapool, Highlands (IV26 2YG) - 201.9p Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
