What happened
Howard Cox, founder of FairFuelUK, called for fuel duty cuts to stimulate the economy. The campaign, which includes motorists, small business owners, tradespeople, and hauliers, has gathered over 30,000 drivers demanding action ahead of the October 28 Budget. The group is calling for an immediate fuel duty cut, a permanent freeze, and the introduction of a PumpWatch regulator.

Why it matters
