Motorists plan to stage further fuel price protests on Friday with disruption expected in Cardiff as well as on the M4 and key roads around southwest England. Avon and Somerset Police warned motorists that “slow-moving roadblocks” are planned on parts of the M4, M5, M32 and A38.
An image posted on the Facebook group Fuel Price Stand Against Tax suggests demonstrations will be held “nationwide” including in Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, London, and Manchester. Superintendent Tony Blatchford of Avon and Somerset Police said: “Our protest liaison team has been engaging with the organiser so we can inform the public of the likely disruption and help to minimise it.
“Nevertheless drivers can expect journey times will likely be longer than normal, especially on motorways, which often tend to be at their busiest at this time of year. We advise motorists to consider any alternative travel plans available and ensure they are suitably prepared in case they are delayed.”
