DEAR EDITOR - I read with dismay the recent comments made by Cllr Nick Psirides regarding the failure to sell the UEF (Garringtons) site to the potential buyer.

As a long time employee of UEF, as well as a lifetime resident of the town, I find it amazing that such a blas comment and I quote, "we knew our intervention would have no effect" would suffice.

May I remind Cllr Psirides that the 500 jobs in danger at UEF are in the main occupied by Bromsgrove people along with many others working for sub-contractors etc.

If Bromsgrove District Council cannot offer help to the people who put them in power, perhaps the same people can reciprocate at the next election.
