Fuel protest may spread to borough
Lee Sykes18/ 6/2008
OLDHAM hauliers are planning a go-slow fuel protest through the town later this month, subject to the backing of the police.
A definite date and route has yet to be established, although some lorry firms are worried they could lose their licence if they take part.

There is real sense in this, after all Saudi's are losing with other investors as stock markets catch a cold.
Even should the Govt intervene I would guess there will be little for hauliers to cheer about. Long term prices of fuel will continue to rise and raise costs because of increasing demand for fuel from India and China.
In the short and medium term the economy's down, turn will also mean that hauliers will be competing for shrinking business.
