Fuel price protesters are set to cause further disruption on Friday (22 July) as police warn motorists that “slow-moving roadblocks” are planned on major roads across the country. Avon and Somerset Police has advised drivers to expect delays along parts of the M4, M5, M32 and A38 from Friday morning.
An image posted on the private Facebook group Fuel Price Stand Against Tax suggests demonstrations will be held “nationwide,” including in Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, London and Manchester. Superintendent Tony Blatchford 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.”
