Police are preparing for "serious disruption " on the Prince of Wales Bridge due to a planned protest. Drivers have been advised by Gwent Police to work from home where possible and avoid the area during the protest period.
Organisers have informed authorities of their intention to stage the protest between M4 Magor services, junction 23A eastbound, and Junction 20 of the M4 between 7am and 7pm on Monday, July 4. Officers from both Gwent Police and Avon and Somerset Police will be in attendance at the protest to ensure it is carried out in line with the law. Plans are also being made with emergency and critical services to reduce disruption.
Campaigners say they plan to take to the bridge on Monday from 7am until 7pm with banners calling for more government action on high petrol and diesel prices across the country.
