24-hour petrol hub mystery

  5. Petrol on the rise

MYSTERY shrouds Coleraine’s 24 hour self-serve petrol station, which has been without petrol or gas for what is believed to be months.

Residents and passers-bys who rely on this service have been unable to access petrol at the station, with no one answering questions as to what exactly is going on.

The most frustrating thing for local Bruce Bickley, is “being fed a pack of lies”.

“It’s not good for the town and they fill you up with lies and think you’re stupid,” he said.

“They say it’s a technical difficulty but when you put the card in, everything works fine, there’s just no fuel but they won’t tell you that.

“I just want to get some bolt cutters and a dip-stick and prove to them that there’s no petrol.”

Full report in today’s.
