Majority of forecourts unaffected by fuel depot protests, says PRA
The fuel industry has moved to quell suggestions of fuel shortages which could prompt panic-buying in the run-up to Easter.

Brief answer
- There isn’t a single, unified “latest” headline for UK fuel protests right now, but activity tends to spike around fuel-price milestones and policy announcements, with protests sometimes affecting road traffic and depot deliveries. Expect periodic coverage when groups plan road convoys or demonstrations.
What’s been typical recently
- Protests often organize around social media and lobbying groups, calling for reductions in fuel duty or price caps. Coverage tends to focus on anticipated disruption on major routes or at key fuel depots, and police prep for potential congestion. This pattern has appeared in past cycles when fuel prices rise or government policy changes are discussed [source-type:web: multiple examples in 2022–2024 and 2026 coverage can illustrate this pattern].
