Potential Job Losses at Cooper Tires - Town Council Response
Melksham Town Council was saddened today to learn that Cooper Tires have commenced a consultation with their staff that could lead to up to 300 job losses in the light vehicle production workforce at the Melksham site.
The Town Council recognises that Cooper Tires are at the beginning of this process and at this stage no individual staff have been made redundant, but it is important to recognise in all discussions and speculation that individual’s livelihoods are at risk and we hope that the wider community will be mindful and considerate of those who may be affected.
