IN your report (LET, October 4) Janet Anderson said: "We can't afford to keep losing manufacturing jobs like this and I will be talking to the regeneration unit at the council and the regional development agency to see what help we can get to bring some much-needed jobs back to Darwen and the surrounding villages."
This is not the solution. The Government has to take action to stop cheap imports from countries that have cheap labour and who also impose import tariffs of 40 per cent plus on goods we send to their countries. Otherwise, manufacturing in the UK will cease to exist.
