Motorists are experiencing major disruption on the motorway network, with protesters driving slowly on several busy motorways. Members of campaign group FairFuelUK say they are calling for a new cut in fuel duty.
One protest was taking place on the M4 at the Welsh border. Gwent Police said: “We are seeing significant delays both east and westbound on the Prince of Wales Bridge due to the planned protest. We are seeking to return traffic to normal as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, Avon and Somerset Police said two slow-moving roadblocks in the force area have a potential to cause disruption – one on the M4 westbound, travelling from junction 17 towards Wales, and another on the M5 northbound, due to travel from junction 24 towards Almondsbury Interchange later. And Devon and Cornwall Police tweeted: “We are aware of a go-slow protest having commenced at 7:10am from Exeter Services heading northbound.”
