Support for lorry demo

Shropshire hauliers will be among angry truckers taking hundreds of lorries to the capital tomorrow in what is expected to be the biggest protest so far against record-high fuel prices.

This time the lobby group Transaction 2007 will have the support of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and the Transport Association for the demonstration involving controlled convoys, and a pedestrian-led lobby of Parliament.

Brian Marston of GWD Marston & Son hauliers of Halfway House, near Shrewsbury, said: "Crippling us is not the word for it, it's a total disaster."
