THE Birmingham branch of the RHA is to fight a move to ban night parking of lorries and commercial vehicles in the city streets (see COMMERCIAL MOTOR, June 10).
An RHA spokesman said: "We have little alternative but to park in the streets at night. Other cities provide lorry parks; Birmingham is the only major city that does not".
Petrol rationing starts in The Islands
PETROL rationing came into force last week in Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides. Regular customers are being rationed to two gallons of petrol a day for private cars and four gallons a day for commercial vehicles. Ambulances and doctors' cars will not be affected.
A spokesman for the Shell agents in Stornoway said they had only about 10 days' supply left and that this week petrol would be available only for essential purposes.
He added that they had met the local seamen's strike committee and asked for clearance for a tanker to bring in supplies.
The fuel shortage will also affect the Harris Tweed industry because many of the mills use oil.
