There are no new jobs in the Dobson & Crowther exercise - and quite a few old jobs have gone as well. The bulk of any supermarket jobs will be short hours and minimum wage. How many of the above will be smiling outside the closed town shops, whose business the supermarket has taken? Such short-termism is rife in councils across the nation. Llangollen and Denbighshire are no exception.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125418539113091547.post-17914539508714042112014-03-01T11:26:44.626+00:002014-03-01T11:26:44.626+00:00This project has all the hallmarks of a Greek trag...This project has all the hallmarks of a Greek tragedy, with its flawed heroes, chorus of councillors and big business and hubris at yesterday's ceremony. Dobson and Crowther may move into their new factory but there is no guarantee they will stay, and we may be left with a 20,000-foot supermarket, strategically placed to suck in the passing trade Llangollen relies on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125418539113091547.post-91352877233492703492014-03-01T08:33:48.586+00:002014-03-01T08:33:48.586+00:00Or being told that if they take 20% pay cut there ...Or being told that if they take 20% pay cut there will not be any redundancies (for now).
