FUEL shortages are still hitting Winchester .

Two of the city's main petrol stations have been without both petrol and diesel on Thursday, April 14, leaving drivers frustrated.

Sainsbury's at Badger Farm is said to have run out today and Tesco in Easton Lane, Winnall, also ran dry.

Shoppers at Sainsbury's said staff had told them that deliveries were expected overnight tonight with the pumps due to open when the supermarket does at 7am. It was unclear when Tesco might re-open.

Shortages have been blamed on climate change activists who have been blockading oil terminals.

This week, Fair Fuel UK, a group that campaigns to reduce charges on diesel and petrol powered vehicles, estimates that one in ten stations in the South have been affected.
