Supermarket petrol stations to be closed most of Monday

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons will close forecourts on Monday before some reopen at 17:00 BST.It is understood only a small number of Tesco self service fuel stations will reopen in the evening and customers have been advised to check local pumps. Independent traders operate about two-in-three of the country's filling stations, but only sell just over a third of all fuel, and the remainder is accounted for by sites owned by oil companies, according to the RAC motoring group. "With many supermarket forecourts closed until the evening on Monday, our advice to drivers needing to refuel is to seek out a good value independent filling station that's choosing to stay open, or top up over the weekend instead," RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said. Sainsbury's said its filling stations will be open from 17:00 to 22:00 on Monday to allow customers to "Pick up essential items". It said the opening hours of its independent stations were at the "Discretion of individual business", but added that the company had "Invited them to also consider closing to enable their staff and customers to pay their respects".
