NEW UK Government figures show filling stations in Britain had an average fuel stock level of 25% on Sunday, down from 33% before the crisis.

But the situation varies in different areas – with Scotland boasting the highest level across Britain.

Here is a breakdown of average fuel stock levels – how full filling station storage tanks were – at the end of the day on Sunday:

North-east England: 33%

North-west England: 28%

Yorkshire and The Humber: 28%

East Midlands: 22%

West Midlands: 26%

East of England: 19%

London: 18%

South-east England: 16%

South-west England: 26%

Wales: 30%

Scotland: 35%

England: 23%

Gordon Balmer, executive director of the Petrol Retailers Association, said yesterday that 13% of independent filling stations in London and the South East still do not have fuel.

He warned: “This is leaving some motorists continuing to feel insecure about fuel availability at their local neighbourhood filling stations.

“Independent forecourts report a complete lack of visibility as to when their next delivery might arrive, and some have been dry for four days and still waiting for a delivery.”

The National:

Balmer claimed attempts by the Government to deal with the crisis – such as deploying members of the armed forces to help deliver fuel – have only had “limited success” in London and the South East.

He added: “Much more attention on this issue affecting this region is urgently needed.”
