Gwent Police say they are aware of a fuel protest that is set to take place on the A465 (Heads of the Valleys) road today.
A spokesperson for Gwent Police shared the following statement this morning (Thursday):
“We’re aware of a planned protest on the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road on Thursday 16 June near Brynmawr.
“Our advice to motorists is to consider taking alternative routes as this may lead to delays throughout the morning between 8.30am and 9am.
“Superintendent Mike Richards said: “We have a responsibility to facilitate peaceful protests but blocking highways, causing significant disruption to businesses and communities in the area, is unlawful.
“We will make every effort to try and minimise the impact on the public; we will prosecute anyone who commits road traffic offences, and any other offences, during the protest.”
