Agricultural workers reassured over red diesel supply
The Lincolnshire Resilience Forum co-ordinating the local response to the coronavirus pandemic and its implications for residents, life and business within Lincolnshire wants to assure farmers in respect to the supply of red diesel.
A spokesman said: “We are aware that concern has been raised in respect of the future supply of red diesel, farmers are advised that there are no issues in respect of this.
“In order to safeguard supplies, they are asked to only order what they would ordinarily order and not to bulk store unnecessarily, as doing this will impact on how quickly the diesel can be distributed.
