Fuel Prices Rising Again… and It’s Hitting Kempsey

Has anyone else noticed how much petrol and diesel prices have crept up again recently?

Across the UK, prices are rising sharply due to global supply issues, with diesel in particular seeing big increases and some areas now pushing close to £2 per litre  

And unfortunately, we’re not immune here in Kempsey…

📍 Nearby fuel prices (latest available)

Here are some of the closest options to the village:

  • Esso Clerkenleap (Bath Road, Worcester)⛽ Petrol: ~149.9p🚗 Diesel: ~177.9p  
  • Tesco Worcester (St Peter’s Drive)⛽ Petrol: ~153.9p🚗 Diesel: ~189.9p  
  • Worcester area average (multiple stations)⛽ Petrol: ~149.9p–157.9p🚗 Diesel: ~175.9p–189.9p  
  • Wider Worcestershire average⛽ Petrol: ~155.3p🚗 Diesel: ~186.6p  

The reality is, if you live in Kempsey, you have to drive for most things – work, shopping, school runs…

And let’s be honest, public transport from the village isn’t exactly great, which makes rising fuel costs hit even harder for local residents.

It’s becoming more expensive just to get around day-to-day, and for many households, that’s starting to really add up.
