Campaigners brought parts of the M4 to a standstill this morning as they staged planned go-slow protests over high fuel prices.
Police closed the Prince of Wales bridge in both directions at 11am for around 50 minutes to seize some vehicles from the convoy. Eight people are understood to have been arrested for driving below the pre-agreed 30mph minimum speed limit.
The protests are understood to have been organised via social media as part of action calling for a cut in fuel duty. They come as the latest figures from Experian show the average price of petrol reached a new high of 191.5p per litre on Sunday, with diesel at 199.0p per litre.
