The petition for fair fuel prices to be a feature of the new Conservative / Lib Dem government has collected well over 1200 signatures in a matter of days.
Speaking on the petitions success Erica Macdonald said “It is thrilling to see so many people actively collecting signatures for this.”
“Considering the high dependency on cars in this area, and with figures of people in fuel poverty rising, it is maybe not surprising”.
“Collecting signatures at the classic car show last weekend it was plain to see that people were eager in anticipation for a pilot fuel duty regulator scheme to be implemented in the Western and Northern Isles.”
“The petition is ready to sign in many places in Stornoway, including the office of Angus Brendan MacNeil MP in Bayhead.”
“Other outlets in Stornoway which have the petition for signing include Autoparts, Auto-Scott’s part shop, Aladdin’s cave, Black Cat studios, the sawmill at Marybank, and Campbells service station on Riggs road.”
