Glastonbury: Long queues at the only petrol station selling fuel

By Tim Lethaby 28th Sep 2021

Only one of Glastonbury's two petrol stations was selling fuel this afternoon (September 28) and there were long queues for the pumps

The Morrisons petrol station had fuel but there were queues that were sometimes back to the main road.

However, the Esso garage on Wirral Park Road was out of fuel, similar to the Esso garage in nearby Wells.

The national supply shortage continues to make headlines as many parts of the country experience severe problems.

The British Medical Association has called on the Government to put a plan in place – warning that health and care workers cannot spend hours queuing for fuel when they're needed to look after patients.

However, earlier today the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said there were the first "tentative signs of stabilisation" in the amount of fuel on petrol station forecourts, and he urged motorists to go back to their normal buying habits.
