Peter Carroll     on the
Road Haulage Industry

July 4th 2008

Peter Carroll, spokesman for Transaction a road haulier himself said, "Our industry is being driven out of business. Continental hauliers are able to run in the UK using cheaper fuel from abroad. The Government needs to realize that the surge in Oil prices has changed the world. It is madness to insist on charging the highest level of fuel duty in the EU on top of a world price that has rocketed. If nothing is done, thousands of UK hauliers will go bust. We have sound and effective proposals to solve this problem. The Government needs to talk to us and to listen to us".

TransAction: Third Protest a Big Success.

Those that head up "TransAction 2007" thank each of you that took part in the Protest/Demonstration/Lobby of 2nd July 2008 in central London. We would also like to thank the Trade Associations for their input into making the day a very useful event to acquaint the MPs and those that sit at the head of Government on the critical state that the UK road haulage industry is in. TransAction would also extend a big "Thank You" to the private operators and individuals that gave up their valuable working time to support the cause.

Once again the Metroplitan Police must be congratulated on the way in which they assisted us to carry out this protest. You Guys and Gals at New Scotland Yard that made this possible and all of the police that stood on duty as our convoys passed through London we say, "Thank You".

We do not forget the part that the Kent Police play in our own initial starts from the South East at the M2 Farthing Corner Services. To you Guys, "Thank You". We acknowledge the fact that without positive input from the Police, these events would not happen.

To all the Police forces around the Country that assisted the Trucks to reach London. "Thank You". It has been a pleasure to work with you.
