Fuel protests have not been too apparent in the Hutton area although all 5 cars in the village may have been involved in panic buying according to Fishwick Special Branch. Special Branch also report that a protest by an unnamed tractor driver aiming to disrupt motorists on the Hutton Paxton upper road failed because (a) no motorists over a 5 hour period and (b) abandonment of mission when he ran out of fuel.
