Petrol station queues in East of England prompt call for calm

Queues have formed at petrol stations across the East of England as supply problems affected the country.

A small number of forecourts ran dry due to a nationwide shortage of HGV lorry drivers.

One driver queuing in Ipswich said he was unable to find any petrol in Halstead, Sudbury or Colchester.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps urged people not to panic buy and insisted there was "plenty of petrol".
