Fuel prices have continued to rise in Andover as sanctions are imposed on Russia following last month's invasion in Ukraine.

Average pump prices have hit new record highs in the country amid growing speculation that the Chancellor is preparing to slash fuel duty.

Figures from data firm Experian Catalist show the average price of a litre of fuel at UK forecourts on Sunday was 167p for petrol and 179p for diesel.

This is an increase of 18p for petrol and 26p for diesel over the past month.

There are suggestions Chancellor Rishi Sunak could announce a temporary cut in fuel duty of up to 5p per litre in Wednesday’s spring statement.

The cheapest rate for petrol available in areas surrounding Andover is 165.9p.

This is at Tesco Andover, according to the latest data available from petrolprices.com.
