Esso, Texaco, Shell, BP and Asda petrol and diesel prices near where you live in Wales

It has been a week of queues, empty pumps, caps on how much petrol or diesel you can buy and price rises in Wales.

With filling stations across Wales being hit by panic buying over the past week, the Government has put the army on standby in case the crisis gets worse.

Petrol shortages are expected to carry on for another week 'or so' according to a policing minister, and e xperts have warned of a "pretty bleak" few weeks ahead for drivers with prices expected to soar.

The crisis began following an announcement from BP that it was closing a number of petrol stations. The closure was largely attributed to a national shortage in HGV drivers, a Europe-wide problem made worse in the UK by Brexit, as many foreign drivers could no longer work here.

A new temporary visa scheme has since been introduced by the Government to help encourage European lorry drivers to work in the UK, but leading industry experts have criticised the plan, describing it to have "very little benefit".

As filling stations attempt to refuel more frequently throughout the week, we visited garages across the country to find out how they were coping and to check prices.
