Asda takes over another petrol station in Slough

ASDA has taken over another petrol station in Slough as part of a nationwide expansion of its Express services.

The petrol station is located on the A4 Bath Road, the major east-west route that runs the length of the town.


It was turned into an Asda Express in March as part of a nationwide deal that transforms Spar petrol station services into Asda locations.

Celebrating the news, an Asda spokesperson said: “This conversion programme is an incredibly exciting moment for our business and accelerates our presence in the fast-growing convenience market.

“We look forward to bringing Asda’s great value in fuel and groceries to many more communities across the UK.”

The petrol station was opened as an Asda Express in March, at 395 Bath Road, Cippenham, near the four way junction of the A4, Elmshott Lane and Station Road. It has operated for years as a 24-hour petrol station.

Asda has recently applied for a licence to keep on function 24 hours a day, and sell alcohol round the clock. The food giant has also applied to sell food and soft drinks from 11pm to 5am overnight as well.

The application has been submitted to Slough Borough Council, which is holding a statutory consultation into the licensing application.

You can comment on it by emailing licensing@slough.gov.uk, with the deadline for responses being May 21.

Jet fuel crunch puts Europe’s summer travel plans at risk

  • Fuel reserves at smaller airports may run dry within weeks
  • Flight cancellations already spreading across Europe
  • Prices surge as supply chain disruption deepens

Europe’s aviation network is edging towards a fuel crunch that could reshape summer travel, with airlines quietly preparing for cuts as supply from the Middle East remains uncertain.

At the centre of the issue is the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and jet fuel shipments. Disruptions there have already tightened supply, pushing jet fuel prices sharply higher and raising concerns that Europe could face shortages within weeks. Industry bodies have warned that if flows do not resume soon, the situation could move from strain to outright disruption.
