Refueling is currently a major problem in Great Britain: there is a lack of fuel. The British government wants to remedy the situation.
In the UK, soldiers are said to be on duty from Monday to curb the ongoing fuel shortage at British petrol stations.
Almost 200 members of the armed forces, including 100 truck drivers, are to provide “temporary” support, as the government headquarters Downing Street announced on Saturday. At the same time, the government expanded its offers for foreign truck drivers. Up to 300 drivers from abroad should receive immediate work visas, which should be valid until March. So far, the government had tried to lure applicants from abroad to the island with temporary visas until Christmas.
In Great Britain there have been extreme bottlenecks at many petrol stations for more than a week. Many are closed. Long lines form at the rest. In some parts of the country, the situation is said to have improved. According to a large petrol station association, this does not apply to London and the south-east. While the situation in Scotland, the north of England and parts of the Midlands has improved, it has “at best gotten worse” in the south, said Brian Madderson, head of the Petrol Retailers Association, of the BBC on Saturday.
