Saddened by the possible closure of the Remploy Factory

I am saddened by the possible closure of the Remploy Factory on Accrington Rd due to the Government accepting the recommendations of the Report prepared by Liz Sayce. Remploy gives adults with various disabilities a chance to contribute and take pride in the work their do.

Phil Davies the GMB National Secretary states that it would cost the Treasury less to keep the factories operating fully loaded rather than putting the workers out of work on welfare. This is the the same Conservative/Lib Dem government who are trying to reduce the amount of benefits it has to pay out and get people back into work.
