Statement on Council Reaction to Global Economic Downturn
"In East Staffordshire the effects of this downturn are already starting to be noticed, particularly following announcements from JCB and Fox's Biscuits in Uttoxeter regarding potential job losses, which will have a direct impact on our local economy.
"However, the Council is committed to working with local companies and developers to ensure the economic prosperity of the borough by encouraging new investment and supporting current projects.
"We are working with Staffordshire County Council, Advantage West Midlands and the Learning and Skills Council among others to set up a working group to help people who might potentially be made redundant, and will continue to promote the attractions of the borough to possible investors and developers."
