AN MSP is demanding an urgent showdown with bosses of an energy firm over plans to close its only Scottish plant with the loss of around 75 jobs.
“I know this is particularly devastating news for those who are already struggling during the current cost of living crisis. I share the deep concerns expressed by distraught families and employees, and I will be urging the Scottish Government to explore all possibilities for rescuing the jobs at Argent.”
“The UK Government must urgently address the issues highlighted by Argent Energy, including subsidised biodiesel from China and the US, HMRC duties, and the barriers to importing. The Newarthill site, which has the capacity to produce up to 50 million litres of biodiesel a year, was the company's first location in 2005, before it later expanded to Cheshire and the Netherlands.
“I will continue to keep local people updated and would urge anyone impacted by this news to contact my office directly for support.”
