A major motorway came to a standstill earlier today after protesters demonstrated against rising fuel prices. Campaigners blocked a stretch of the M4 between Bristol and South Wales, including the Prince of Wales Severn bridge crossing, as part of an action calling for a cut in fuel duty.

“I then lost a job two weeks ago because the company couldn’t afford to put fuel in that many lorries so last in, first out.” She added that the whole situation has caused a large amount of emotional stress for her family. “My only option soon will be to put the welding gear in the shed and call it a day, maybe go on the dole. Face it, at this rate I’ll be on more that way.” Marting Crowley, 48, from Cardiff, said fuel prices are having a drastic effect on his livelihood.

Both carriageways of the M4 approaching the Severn crossing were brought to a stop by go-slow protests travelling both east and west. Two police motorcyclists at the scene drove in front of four vehicles travelling at around 30 mph from the Bristol area towards South Wales.
