Preston’s local economy needs to grow & locals need to be employed
This Preston chicken factory is having a halo effect on local businesses and residents in the Deepdale and Ribbleton area of Preston. This factory currently employs close to 300 local residents from the mainly Ribbleton and Deepdale area. The factory has plans to expand which would mean more people in employment.
Do you really want to see these people loose their jobs and become dependent on Job seeker allowance? With BREXIT uncertainty looming is it wise to add more stress to the local economy? To council services ?
This factory contributes to the local and wider economy in many different ways. The wages paid to the employees help local shop keepers and local landlords who contribute towards paying their share of taxes.
This chicken factory contributes a significant amount in business rates that helps the council pay towards the cost of local services.
This petition is in place to encourage the proposed planned works and give confidence to Preston city council that the extension will boost the local economy, boost local employment and bring more business to the area. Say yes to the Extension
