How fuel prices are formed

Free market

Changes daily

~60% Taxes and levies

Regulator

Competition and Markets Authority; Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Free market, but CMA oversight intensified in 2023-2026 due to weak pass-through of wholesale declines to retail. From 2 February 2026, mandatory station reporting to Fuel Finder requires price updates within 30 minutes. Price depends on Platts, GBP/USD and fuel duty.

Taxes and levies

Fuel duty 52.95 pence/litre, VAT 20%, renewable fuel obligations.

Subsidies

No direct subsidies; the 5p fuel duty cut has been extended to 31 August 2026, effectively acting as indirect support.

Scarborough Council calls for review of seafront motorhome parking ban

Scarborough Town Council has urged a reconsideration of the overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the seafront. The council states the ban has led to displacement into residential areas, causing noise, waste disposal issues, and competition for parking. It proposes a controlled, paid overnight parking scheme on Marine Drive as an alternative.

Bridge Camera System Explained

Questions have arisen about the effectiveness of ANPR cameras on the Kirkcudbright bridge, which record breaches of weight and width restrictions. The cameras capture all vehicles but automatically detect only the plated weight of a vehicle from the DVLA database, which does not always flag trailers like caravans. Council officials manually sift through the data and pass non-compliant cases to the police, while exploring a system to automatically identify towed caravans.
