Staff at a Penrith filling station are informing customers that they have now received a delivery of fuel.
The Hills garage on Scotland Road in Penrith had to turn customers away due to running out of fuel. Brexit, the shortage of delivery drivers and haulage workers leaving the sector during the pandemic have all been cited as reasons for pump shortages.
There is no shortage of fuel, the Government says, the problem lies in its distribution.
Hill’s has now confirmed that it has had a delivery and is now able to serve fuel to customers.
