M4 and M48 traffic: Fuel price protesters 'plan to blockade' both Severn Bridges

Drivers fed up with the cost of fuel at the forecourts are trying to organise a blockade of the two Severn Bridges on July 4.

A Facebook group called Fuel Price Stand Against Tax has mushroomed in recent weeks as the price of fuel has approached £2 a litre, and increasing numbers of people are calling for some kind of direct action to protest about this.

Post on social media calling for people to protest have been shared more than 1,000 times, and a date of July 4 - the first Monday in July - has been set for a ‘blockade’ of the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge and the M48 Severn Bridge to draw attention to ‘ridiculous’ costs of fuel.
