Panic
buying continues at Burnham-On-Sea petrol stations
Queues of traffic developed outside Burnham-On-Sea
petrol stations on Monday (June 16th) as panic buying of fuel
continued.
New
supplies reached several filling stations in the town on Monday,
but the higher than normal demand - sparked buy a lorry strike
- put a strain on supplies.
Fresh
talks aimed at resolving the fuel tanker drivers' dispute, which
led to the four-day strike by hundreds of workers and prompted
shortages across Britain, are to be held this week. The
drivers walked out on Friday and are due to return on Tuesday,
having mounted picket lines at about 14 terminals and fuel sites
across the UK, including Avonmouth.
This
was the situation in Burnham at 6pm on Monday evening:
