Que the panic buying once again.
On the evening of the 6th December 2007 a meeting took place in the midlands made up of a delegation of Transaction and RHA members from all regions of the UK. On finalising the meeting it was decided unanimously that "legal protest action" would be commenced. The dates and times will be published here in the coming days. Your attention should be focused on the day of Sunday 9th December for a further release from us.
It should be known that from this day forward (7th December 2007) that NO media interviews or statements will be issued from ANY member(s) of the Transaction group. This statement also applies to emails. ALL information that the media and public requires will be publicised on this website shortly. No further comments will be made at this time. All previous releases from Transaction on this page has been moved to the media page
In closing, Transaction would like to inform the media that a telephone number for information purposes will be published here in the coming days.
Got this from my boss this morning
"TransAction 2007" makes you aware, that a nationwide legal protest against high fuel taxation will take place at various locations. These will be made available as will the date and time during the coming days. Protest action will take place on the same date and at the same time.
Person(s) participating in the demonstration do so on their own inititive. You will be advised of a "meeting area". If you have not already registered on the "TransAction 2007" forum section of the website, now is the time to support this LEGAL demonstration.
"TransAction 2007" would emphasis, you should comply with police instructions. Any person seen acting outside of police instruction will be reported and asked to be removed from protest area. Further information will be released here as we receive it.
Your attention should be focused on Wednesday 12th December 2007. "TransAction 2007" would like to thank everyone for their support in this campaign. We act as individuals but stand as one.
In finishing, "TransAction 2007" respectfully request that both HM Treasury and the Directors of the Road Haulage Association, urgently meet and enter into sincere and constructive dialogue to achieve an amicable solution to resolve this long standing issue over fuel duty that would be acceptable to all parties concerned. Negotiation should be the way forward !

They may care about the motorist, but clearly don't give a toss about anyone else.

45 mpg for a diesel isnt that good. Considering the increased cost of the car in the first place and the fact that diesel is more expensive than petrol you'll be lucky to make a saving.

Not everyone wants to struggle to drive 10 MPH up a hill Zeph. No, quite frankly why should people be forced, economically to drive tin sheds?
