Calm urged over refinery shutdown

Motorists have been urged not to panic buy fuel amid warnings that the shutdown of Scotland’s only crude oil refinery could lead to shortages.

Ineos claims it could have to close its refinery at Grangemouth for a month on safety grounds ahead of a strike by 1,200 members of the Unite union.

Industry analysts told the BBC that there is no need for drivers to stock up with petrol at the pumps.
