Unemployment & Ericcson

The unemployment figures announced today are horrible but especially bad for our area with the news that Ericcson have announced that they will be pulling out of the Ansty Park employment area leading to 700 redundancies. This is within Rugby Consituency although most of the staff there live in Coventry. Details from the Coventry Telegraph here and it falls to Guido Fawkes on his blog here to draw attention to the consequence of the Prime Minister's visit to the site earlier in February this year.
