I am one of the 480 permanent staff members who will be directly affected by the potential closure of the Lindsey Oil Refinery. This isn't just a job; it's a livelihood for hundreds of families and a pivotal part of our local economy. The closure of this vital facility will not only lead to significant job losses in the community but also threaten the stability of our nation's energy infrastructure.

Lindsey Oil Refinery stands as a cornerstone of our national energy production, ensuring a steady supply of fuel and contributing to energy security. Its closure would mark the second refinery shutdown within a year under the current Labour government, raising serious concerns about our energy resilience and capacity.

The impact on the local area will be devastating. Beyond the immediate loss of jobs for those employed at the refinery, hundreds more will be affected indirectly, including businesses and services reliant on the refinery's operation. The ripple effects will be felt across the community, leading to increased economic distress and uncertainty.

We urge the government to recognize the importance of Lindsey Oil Refinery both locally and nationally. Intervention is crucial to preserving the livelihoods of hundreds of workers and ensuring the continuity of our energy supply. Concrete measures must be taken to prevent this closure, such as investment in upgrading processes, offering tax incentives, or facilitating negotiations for new ownership.

This is a call to action for all who understand the significance of maintaining supportive infrastructure in the UK. Let's protect this invaluable resource and the many lives dependent on it. Please join us in urging the government to take decisive action. Sign and support our cause to save Lindsey Oil Refinery.
