The Need for Fuel Fairness in Bedford Borough Grows More Urgent - Sign our Petition
The fact that petrol and diesel prices have soared to record levels across the country has received a lot of media attention lately. You might think that as average prices increase generally, it would provide an opportunity for the local fuel retailers to allow local prices charged at the pump here to find a level generally comparable to those charged elsewhere. You would sadly be wrong, however, as the facts show that the rank unfairness suffered by motorists and businesses in Bedford is continuing, and the gap of around 5 pence between the cheapest prices here for petrol and diesel and those charged in nearby towns is being maintained. This is utterly indefensible. The rising prices make the need for fuel fairness in Bedford Borough even more urgent, as household budgets are strained further and businesses are left at a growing disadvantage.
