and live on Freeview channel 276
Motorists were furious last week when the BP garage on Scot Lane, in Marsh Green, displayed the “absolutely scandalous” price of 212.9p for a litre of diesel.
While prices around the country are soaring and the cost-of-living crisis bites, people were dismayed to see the price so high.

But just a week later, the same station was today advertising diesel for 205.9p per litre and petrol for 189.9p per litre.
According to Government data, the average price of a litre of diesel in the UK on Monday was 190.43p per litre, while petrol was 182.53p.
Wigan Today has contacted Park Garage Group but has not yet received a response.
