The news that Grangemouth will stop refining oil in quarter 2 of 2025 is devastating, affecting not only the local community but also areas across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the north of England.

The closure will impact social mobility and local industries such as shops, pubs, restaurants, hotels, cafés, bed and breakfasts, and snack vans.
