Petrol stations close in UK amid shortage of truck drivers

Government urges Brits against panic buying as lack of hauliers stretches supply chains to breaking point.

 

Several UK petrol stations have closed as a shortage of truck drivers stretches some of the country’s vital supply chains close to breaking point.

 

British oil giant BP temporarily closed some of its 1,200 UK petrol stations on Friday due to a lack of unleaded and diesel grades, which it blamed on driver shortages.

 

ExxonMobil’s Esso said a small number of its 200 Tesco Alliance retail sites had also been affected.

 

Queues formed at some petrol stations in London and the southern English county of Kent on Friday as motorists rushed to fill up, Reuters news agency reported.

 

But Transport Secretary Grant Shapps insisted there was no fuel shortage, saying the government was taking steps to recruit more drivers.

 

“The advice would be to carry on as normal,” he told UK broadcaster Sky News, after other officials warned the public against panic-buying.

 

Just as the world’s fifth-largest economy emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the post-Brexit shortage of truck drivers and a spike in European natural gas prices has left the UK grappling with the grim prospect of a potential food supply crunch and soaring energy bills.

 

The British haulage industry says it needs about 100,000 more drivers after 25,000 returned to Europe before the UK exited the European Union and the pandemic halted the qualification process for new workers.

 

For months, supermarkets and farmers have raised the alarm, saying it has been getting harder to get goods to market.
