Scunthorpe threatened by British Steel announcement

Scunthorpe residents fear for steelworks future as the British Steel insolvency puts 5000 jobs at risk.

Firm’s owners Greybull Capital failed to secure financial support form the government after claiming the company issues were Brexit-related.

The Community trade union General Secretary, Roy Rickhuss, said that the plant is currently fundamental for the economic well being of the town.

Mr. Rickhuss called on all parties to ‘focus on saving jobs’.

“This news will heap more worries on workers and everyone connected with British Steel but it will also end the uncertainty under Greybull’s ownership and must be seized as an opportunity to look for an alternative future.” @Roy_Rickhuss https://t.co/56SiuRPvAB
