West Yorkshire businesses impacted by people panic buying fuel
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says that there is "plenty" of fuel available
We're hearing how people panic buying fuel is impacting people's businesses in West Yorkshire.
Demand at petrol stations has increased, despite Transport Secretary Grant Shapps saying that there is "plenty" of fuel available.
Andy Shearman is the owner of the 'Penistone Travel' taxi service, which operates in West Yorkshire, he's worried he'll be forced to let people down later this week.
He said:
"It's now that the difficulties has started, it's not just me everyone needs fuel, ambulances, fire service, all need their fuel a lot more so than other people do.
"The garage I use locally, they've run out, people from other areas have come to fill up, because they know we have fuel in our village, which is not good.
"This is going to let customers down, people are not going to get to hospital appointments, to the airport, it's going to be very difficult to get through this."
