Involved in the Teesside industry crisis? We want you to #HaveYourSay…

Yesterday it was announced that the construction of TV2, Teesside’s energy-from-waste plant, would be suspended. With the future of over 700 workers hanging in the balance, tensions are understandably high.

Stockton-On-Tees councillor Bob Cook has said: “We appreciate that this is a very worrying time for all those affected and are meeting with Air Products representatives tomorrow to establish the full facts. We will work closely with our neighbouring local authorities and other organisations to provide effective and appropriate support to the contractors affected and their families.”

Following the recent furore over the mothballing of Redcar’s SSI steelworks, it certainly seems like dark days for industry in Teesside.

Are you affected by any of this?

We want to hear from you. Are you one of the 700 TV2 workers, or one of the thousands of SSI workers? Has your family been thrown into jeopardy just ahead of Christmas? Is Teesside’s rich and industrious heritage being abandoned?
