Question from Cllr Mitchell to Cllr Wilkie:

The 36 workers currently employed at the Wilko branch in Hemel Hempstead will be made redundant at the latest in early October; 32 of these workers live in the Borough and 11 of them are not entitled to any redundancy at all. For every one of these workers, losing their job will impact on their lives, the lives of their families, and their community.  Being put at risk of redundancy has a big emotional impact and is a major life change to come to terms with especially when an organisation such as Wilkos goes into administration. What will this administration and the Borough Council do to assist these workers in finding alternative employment?
