The UK government is under increasing pressure to assist British citizens stranded in Westport, as travel disruptions leave many struggling to return home. Reports indicate that dozens of Britons have been left without support, prompting calls for immediate action from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
Growing Frustration Among Stranded Travellers
Families and individuals have expressed frustration over the lack of communication and assistance from UK authorities. Many are facing financial strain due to extended stays, with some forced to pay for last-minute accommodation and alternative travel arrangements.
Government Response Under Scrutiny
Critics argue that the FCDO has been slow to respond, leaving travellers to navigate the crisis alone. A spokesperson for the department stated that they are "aware of the situation" and are "working closely with local authorities," but affected individuals demand more concrete measures.
What Travellers Can Do
- Contact the nearest British embassy or consulate for guidance.
- Monitor official travel advice on the FCDO website.
- Check airline and transport providers for updates on cancellations.
As the situation develops, affected Britons hope for swift intervention to ensure their safe return.
