EMOTIONS are running high following the news a major employer has shelved its multi-million pound expansion plans in Ulverston.
Speaking before a cross-party crunch meeting held in response to the news, South Lakeland district councillor Janette Jenkinson, shadow portfolio holder for the economy, said: “I'm very sad and disappointed as well. I think the longer the project has gone on, it didn't seem to be moving forward.
"I think it's disappointing on two counts, one on jobs, but I'm sad about the new technology. It would have been a first for the Ulverston area.”
