No 10 stressed again today that there is "no shortage" of fuel in the country and urged people to stop needlessly panic buying.A retired fire commander also warned motorists that filling their boots full of jerry cans can be dangerous. "Whether this is to get to hospitals, practices and other healthcare settings, or for ambulances to reach people in urgent need of care and GPs to visit very ill patients at home.
"Essential staff must be able to get to their jobs so they can continue to provide the services so many rely upon. "The Government must urgently look at taking the necessary steps putting such measures in place, so that those key workers who have to drive to work can do so."Fights have even broken out at the pumps as motorists brawl for suppliesPaul Mulligan, who works as a nurse at Rochdale Infirmary, voiced fears colleagues soon won't be able to get to work.
