Yesterday I wrote to the Minister for Energy and the Competition and Markets Authority to raise my concerns about the volatility in forecourt prices, both across our area and compared with nearby communities. The differences are staggering, and I’m very worried about potential petrol pump profiteering.

I know these sudden increases are putting real pressure on people’s bills. Thanks to recent changes in legislation, forecourts must now report any price changes within 30 minutes, meaning you can shop around with more confidence for the best deal.

I can confirm that the Competition and Markets Authority have already passed this information to their intelligence team to look into further.
