Motorists are being warned by the police of delays expected to take place on the M5 this morning, Friday 22nd July.

The delays are due to protesters planning slow-moving roadblock protests against the increasing cost of fuel.

The first protest will see vehicles travel northbound on the M5 between Bridgwater and Almondsbury from around 8:45am.

A second protest group is also due to set off at 8.45am from the same location near junction 24 of the M5 and carry out a slow-moving protest along the A38 to the Bristol Road Shell garage in Bridgwater. Police are predicting substantial traffic delays.
