We are calling on the Government to step up support for South Yorkshire manufacturing in a bid to save what is ultimately the heart of the UK’s industry.
We want to work with South Yorkshire industries and neighbouring authorities to launch a campaign to lobby Government for more support.
We want people to sign our petition in support and show us where they agree with us so we can show Government how much this means to the people of Sheffield.
We are campaigning on the following:
The Government should work and invest with the manufacturing industry to ensure that the industries such as steel making can be ready when the economy improves.
We want more Government-backed training and apprenticeships in the skills that industry needs to keep it ahead of other nations.
We want the Government to do more, including getting help on research and development to prevent manufacturing jobs from going abroad.
We need a simplified research and development tax system that provides genuine incentives for manufacturing companies looking to grow and become more competitive.
If you agree with these points please sign our petition on the No 10 website.

The Government talks about preserving skills, heritage as well as create sustainable jobs. The manufacturing industry, which draws from our heritage skills that makes our counties world famous, is a valid and valuable way to achieve these goals.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Manchester Women's Design Group is based in Manchester we share the vision you have set out for South Yorkshire. Manchester's textile heritage is at risk to being lost too, all in the name of 'regeneration' for glam city centre apartments.
