Fuel protests threaten to bring roads to standstill as millions go on summer holidays on Friday
Sky News says Fuel price protests planned for Friday are threatening to unleash chaos on major roads as millions of families head off on their summer holidays.
Protesters plan to cause delays with “slow-moving roadblocks” on parts of the M4, M5, M32 and A38, police warned.
Fuel Price Stand Against Tax, a Facebook group with 53,000 members, shared a post suggesting activists will assemble “nationwide” to make their voices heard.
Protests are planned in Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, London and Manchester.
An estimated 18.8 million leisure trips are planned in the UK between Friday and Monday, the RAC said, as schools across England and Wales break up for summer.
