Fuel shortage in Battersea? Just walk to the brand new Battersea Power Station tube.

What do the officials have to say in this regard?

BP said that nearly a third of its British petrol stations had run out of the two main grades of fuel on weekend. The general public fell prey to panic buying that urged the government to suspend competition laws and allows firms to work together to ease shortages. In order to serve as many people as possible, some fuel station operators have had to ration supplies while others were forced to close the petrol station due to the absence of main grades of fuel.

“With the intense demand seen over the past two days, we estimate that around 30% of sites in this network do not currently have either of the main grades of fuel,” BP, which operates 1,200 sites in Britain, said in a statement.

The entire supply chain is working in close collaboration with all the stakeholders to bring back the fuel supply to the normal level.

The government’s plan…

Today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that the government is considering mobilising hundreds of soldiers to help deliver fuel effectively, under an emergency plan to deal with petrol stations running dry across the country.

Why is the supply being affected?

It is not the lack of petrol but the lack of HGV drivers that is affecting the fuel supply to the forecourts. Therefore, the government is urging the public not to panic and do not make hasty decisions.

“We have ample fuel stocks in this country and the public should be reassured there are no shortages,” one of the government spokesperson said. However, it is observed that people have been ignoring the government’s caution and lining up in front of petrol stations.

Where the shortage is being felt the most?

According to Gordon Balmer, the executive director of the Petrol Retailers Association (PRA) said that some sites are experiencing more delays, particularly those in London and the south-east of England.
