Long-serving workers made redundant from a printing firm helped bring London's Oxford Street to a standstill in a pensions' protest.
The former employees, two of whom are from Benfleet, of the Perivan Group in Progress Road, Leigh, paid thousands of pounds over the years into the firm's pension scheme.
But the scheme was frozen when the firm went into receivership in November, and they now face being left empty-handed.
They, and others in the same plight, joined a national demonstration in London in a bid to urge the Government to amend a new pensions law.
