Council reassures residents over fuel dispute
11:30am Saturday 14th June 2008
SERVICES including waste collection and recycling will not be affected by the current fuel dispute.
That is the message from Herefordshire Council, which says it has ensured ‘sufficient supplies’ to continue with its services until the tanker drivers strike ends on Tuesday.
The Council added that the risk to fuel supplies in the county is low, with drivers advised to fill-up as normal.
Michael Hainge, director of environment and culture at Herefordshire Council, said: “There are no problems at this time.
"However, contingency plans are in place to ensure that all agencies can deliver essential services should there be a problem with fuel supplies.”
