Businesses have spoken of the 'strain' placed on them as fuel price rises hit hard.
Drivers across the UK were struck with an 8p per litre surge in the price of diesel last month, new figures show.
"The mix of higher fuel prices combined with higher energy costs is putting a strain on companies, and although we are in a strong position because of continued investment, others may not be so fortunate. "Pricing wise, it's really hard for us in terms of jobs because we have to constantly monitor the pricing," he said."I shop around for diesel and flit between Shrewsbury and Whitchurch. There are some garages who offer us a small discount, as taxi drivers, which helps us a little but it's still high.
