Roads across the country could see traffic jams as protesters call for a cut in fuel duty, with demonstrators said to be planning to target mostly three-lane motorways.
Motorists could face"serious disruption throughout the day," police have warned, as protesters are expected to target motorways in a demonstration over high fuel prices.They will target mostly three-lane motorways and result in slow-downs on two lanes, leaving the fast lane free, according to FairFuelUK founder Howard Cox.
The protesters are understood to have been organised via social media under the banner Fuel Price Stand Against Tax.Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said he will carefully consider calls for a"more substantial" fuel duty cut after the 5p per litre reduction implemented in March failed to halt price rises. The government said although it understands people are struggling with rising prices and have a right to protest,"people's day-to-day lives should not be disrupted" and warned that traffic delays"will only add to fuel use".
