[BERNADETTE]

You mention Hildens G but what about Rist Wires, TML(as was), the brick yard, Joseph Arnolds to name but a few. Surely we could have competed with wherever they have relocated on business rates and then maybe just maybe we could have saved some of the jobs. I don't know a lot about politics but surely some of these jobs could have been kept in the borough. And with the loss of all those jobs are we being told that unemployment is not as high as in the seventies? I find that very hard to believe
