HAMBLETON District Council is very concerned about the prison warders and clerks being made redundant with the closure of Northallerton Prison (Echo, Feb 21). It has even produced a regeneration plan to make up for the lost jobs.
Mind you, the council was very quiet when workers in other professions were losing their jobs. There was not a peep out of it.
But now that prison staff and pen-pushers are on the dole, the council is up in arms.
B Prest, Northallerton.
