AFTER ALLOWING PARK Lane to I I be taken over earlier in the year, the capital's authorities weren't quite as accommodating for the second Transaction 2007 London fuel protest on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, protesters were allowed access to Marble Arch by coach, while their trucks were parked up a mile away along the MO. There were some misgivings over staging the latest event the day after a bank holiday, but IJSt before the appointed time of 10am, the first trucks, a group of Essex tippermen, turned up amid the blare of airhorns.
Sadly, the police refused CM access to the parking area on "health and safety" grounds, so we took up station further along the A40. For a while there were just a few singleton operators. but then, shortly before 11am, the East Anglian contingent of 50 or more arrived. Although the convoy was causing a bit of extra congestion, the general public, for once, seemed to be on the haulers' side.
