Workers from the Lindsey Oil Refinery convened outside Parliament to implore the Government to proactively broach the future of the North Lincolnshire site. Despite a previous analysis by the independent Official Receiver ruling out selling the refinery as a viable ongoing concern, the workforce remains hopeful for a favourable outcome. As a crucial element of the local economy, any changes to the refinery could potentially result in job losses and a wide-reaching effect on the local community. To avoid this, the employees are appealing to those in power to assess alternative solutions that could ensure the continued operation of the refinery and preserve crucial local employment opportunities.
