This wekend the team will be doing a pre fuel price review because there is a substantial dro. The idea is to ensure that we advise customers and we visit busineses to see what is the priuce being practised righjt now and how they will make their change. Alot of it will be donme by a survey and then we will follow it up with inspections so on the day of the change our officers are out and about 5am going out checking to make sure people are not hoodwinked.

The next fuel and LPG price review will be on July 1st.
