As the “For Sale” signs go up on City Link’s Black Country HQ in Midland Road, Darlaston, questions need to be asked as to why the company chose to close this particular hub as opposed to the one in Coventry says Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.
“It’s all well and good Walsall Tories blaming the recession and the Labour Government” said Ian, “My fear is that with the Tories saying nationally that they would cut harder and sooner than both Labour and the Lib Dems the Black Country could be heading for a return to the Thatcher era when vast swathes of employment land were laid to waste.”
“I am surprised at the inertia and the sence of the inevitable being displayed by Walsall’s Tory Regeneration supremo on this issue, or is it because it’s the wrong side of the M6?” continued Ian.
“This is a high profile site which straddles the Black Country Route for this to remain idle once City Link goes would be send out all the wrong messages about this area. We need to know why City Link chose to close this site over the Coventry site, and then set about addressing those issues” concluded Ian.
