Statistics from BFI indicate that the UK film inustry contributes £4.3 billion per year to the UK economy with UK films taking 7% of the global box office in 2009 alone, grossing $2 billion worlwide. The impact of the UK film industry on the UK's economy is huge and is something that needs investment to grow. By allowing expansion Pinewood would be creating upto 3100 new jobs and adding upto £36 million per year to the exchequer.

Even more staggering figures include - the UK film industry directly provides jobs for almost 44,000 people, with extended employment impact of 95,000 jobs.

Marvel and Disney have already said they might be forced to look elsewhere if Pinewood are not allowed to expand.

For goodness sake, the UK film industry urgently needs your help, please see sense and help a thriving industry grow, we have lost too many industries over recent years to risk loosing a great British institution like Pinewood and the UK Film Industry!
