Rebecca Cole / The Leader / May 9, 2011
PROTESTERS planning to bring the country to a standstill are now aiming to target leading supermarkets in a protest over fuel prices.
Ian Charlesworth, from Hawarden, and Kevin Bowker, of Saltney, organised a massive go-slow in North Wales which they claim resulted in the shutdown of Ellesmere Port’s Stanlow Oil Refinery yesterday.
... “Stanlow is completely locked down at the moment and there’s a huge police presence.
... The go-slow, which saw hauliers, farmers, motorcyclists and taxi firms from across Flintshire, Wrexham and Chester, started in Llandudno and travelled down the A55 towards Deeside and a further convoy from Shrewsbury headed along the A5 through Oswestry, Chirk and Wrexham before meeting and heading towards Stanlow where protesters from Manchester and Liverpool joined the crowd.
