Bridgend Ford Closure

This is terrible news for workers at the plant, and also for the wider community.  To lose these highly skilled and well-paid jobs is devastating and I know workers in Gower will be affected.
 
I am confident that the Welsh Government will do all it can to support the workers during this worrying and uncertain time.
 
I understand that Economy Minister Ken Skates will be urgently assembling a task force to provide support to the workers, and to explore long term options for the plant.
 
My thoughts and solidarity at this time are with the workers and their families.
