Cllr Anthony Hunt, WLGA Finance and Resources Spokesperson said:

“Investment is welcome, but local government in Wales is extremely concerned to hear about the impact on jobs of the news today about TATA.

“Any job losses on this scale would be body blow to thousands of families, and the wider shockwaves would be keenly felt in the economy and communities.”

“Clarity and support are urgently needed for the workers at this incredibly worrying time.”
