Stocksbridge steelworks put up for sale further uncertainty about the future, that urgently needs to be addressed. As a councillor for Stocksbridge and the Upper Don, I know first-hand the important role that Liberty Steel plays in the local economy and its significance to the community, as well as to the rest of the UK. The plant’s extensive contribution to the wider country cannot be underestimated as a major, high quality supplier to the aerospace industry, which is a fact that the Government must recognise and value by taking immediate steps to provide assurances that the Stocksbridge plant and workers will be protected going forwards.” Dan Jarvis, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region, said: “The news that Stocksbridge Speciality Steels is to be sold off will be a cause for great anxiety among its 700 workers, and for the suppliers and wider community it helps to support. “Their future, and the future of the steel industry in South Yorkshire, depends on finding a buyer willing to invest for the long-term.

Ross Murdoch, GMB National Officer, said: “Sanjeev Gupta pledged no steel plants would close on his watch and we expect him to honour that promise. “Stocksbridge and its downstream plants are strategically important businesses vital to our country’s defence, energy and aerospace sectors. The future for these businesses must be secured and the trade unions will hold Sanjeev Gupta to his promise that none of our steel plants will close on his watch. A formal sale process for Stocksbridge and its downstream plants, the narrow strip mill at Brinsworth and Performance Steels at West Bromwich will be launched shortly.
Man jailed for growing cannabis in a cellar A man has been sentenced to nine months behind bars after neighbourhood officers found him with a large scale cannabis factory in a cellar. Florin Trifan, 30, of no fixed address, was detained after officers from the Walkley neighbourhood team executed a drugs warrant at a property in Minto Road, Hillsborough on 10 April. On a search of the premises, officers found 254 cannabis plants in the loft and the cellar. These plants would be worth around £250,000 in street value. PC Laura Thompson, investigating, said: "Cultivating cannabis on this scale funds the activities of organised criminals. "We seized these plants, plus between eight and 10kg of packaged cannabis which was ready to sell. These profits would have likely gone on to fund violence, exploitation and have a knock on effect of causing fear in our communities. "If you have concerns about the production and supply of drugs in your area, please tell us. We act on the information you provide and work tirelessly to put criminals behind bars, and stop them benefiting from putting drugs on our streets."
