It comes as queues have been forming at several filling stations around the county amid fears of shortages of diesel and petrol. If access to fuel terminals and refineries is obstructed, fuel cannot be loaded and delivered as normal. What I got from the meeting today is the decency and emotion within this group, who are desperate for a positive outcome.
