As always I was absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to visit the steelworks last week, and I’d like to thank everyone who took time out of their day to show us around the rod mill and caster 5. We had some really interesting discussions.
My grandad was a steelworker here in Scunthorpe for 30 years, and having lived locally my entire life, I know how important our steelworks are to our community. The steelworks support countless jobs not just onsite but throughout the supply chain and the wider local economy.
The success of our town and our country needs a strong steelworks, and since my election I’ve always put our steelworks first. They’ve been fantastic to work with, and as always I’ll be taking what I’ve heard down to London.
