Fuel shortages and long queues have brought petrol stations to their knees across the country this weekend -and Reading is no exception.
Reading Chronicle readers have been sharing their frustration with us on Facebook after after a shortage of HGV drivers led to traffic chaos parts of central Reading and Caversham this weekend.
A driver was even arrested in Winnersh for stealing fuel from petrol stations on eight separate ocassions amid the fuel panic.
Yesterday, South Central Ambulance had to issue a plea to drivers not to fill their tanks unless they really needed fuel after ambulance drivers were also forced to join the queues.
Here is a list of your local petrol stations that are open for 24 hours to help you avoid the queues and get through this fuel crisis.
