Drivers have been urged to expect delays this week amid protests along the motorways that serve Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police have issued a warning ahead of the major disruption planned on Monday (July 4) involving road blockages on the M4, M5 and M32.
It is expected that the protests may also have knock-on effects on other roads, as drivers seek alternative routes. The protests are said to be around the soaring prices of petrol and diesel.
Superintendent Paul Wiggington of Avon and Somerset Police said: "Working alongside Gwent Police, we are engaging with the various organisers of these protests. People have a right to peaceful protest and liaison teams from both Gwent and Avon and Somerset have been working to understand campaigners' plans so public safety is maintained and to reduce disruption to others.
