Leader of Liverpool City Council, Cllr Warren Bradley _158
LIVERPOOL Council leader Warren Bradley and Knowsley Council leader Ron Round last night backed the Daily Post campaign to Support Jaguar Land Rover.
Cllr Bradley said: “The Government found billions to save the banking industry: only a fraction of that is needed to help save the UK’s car industry.
“Jaguar and Vauxhall are vital for the future of our local manufacturing economy – directly employing 4,200 people and supporting thousands more jobs.
“Jaguar Land Rover is facing an unprecedented crisis sparked by a massive drop in demand for new cars.
“The Government cannot stand by and allow car production to cease.”
Knowsley’s Ron Round, added: “We would welcome any assistance the Government could offer Jaguar Land Rover. Knowsley has a long and proud history of car manufacturing dating back to 1963, when Ford opened its Halewood plant.”
