| SCG will continue to monitor Grangemouth situation |
|
Following the end of the current strike at Grangemouth Refinery, Central Scotland Strategic Co-Ordinating Group has said it will continue to work towards its key aims of public safety and business continuity.
The group has met several times over the past 10 days to progress a structured and joined-up response to the dispute and the potential impact upon communities. The start-up of the refinery may result in significantly increased noise and flaring, over and above those usually experienced by the community during times of shutdown, start-up and normal operation of the plant. The community of Grangemouth has many decades of experience of living next to this site. SCG members are also well-rehearsed in terms of dealing with a wide range of potential incidents. We would ask that the public remain patient during the period that the refinery will be brought up to full operational capacity. Fuel supplies are adequate to deal with current demand and again the public are asked to stick to their normal fuel-buying patterns. Information has been made available on our response to this situation through the media, websites and in a direct mailing to more than 9000 households in Grangemouth. We will continue to provide updates as appropriate on the following websites: www.centralscotland.police.uk, www.centralscotlandfire.gov.uk
