Apparently many BP garages have already stopped selling LPG ..
My tip is ask Taxi drivers where they source there's from as there are Independent tyre sellers / car wash sites etc who have an LPG tank to service mainly Taxis but will sell to anyone ..
I use such a site local to me and pay 43p a litre ..

The Shell estate is roughly 50/50 split between independents and Shell owned stations - obviously, the indies are able to do whatever they want with their LPG installations - but I'm not aware of it being removed on company sites.
I suspect it's an independent. Its Greenfield Service Station, on the A505 near(ish) Royston.

It is a top tip Mike however my local Taxi firm have their own tank. The public can buy from it, at 69p a litre! Major drawback, apart from the cost, is they are only there during office hours during the week for the public to fill up, so I don't get chance.

Maybe being in a built up area there are several self service
Also a couple with 24 hour contract sales where you pay a deposit on joining . are issued with a plastic DIY 'key' .. and are billed monthly ..
The 'Taxi' one I use is also sells tyres and is a car wash open 7 days from 9am .. they fill up for you ..

Just checked - you're right, it's an independent.
