Government Idiocy

How does it make any sense to make savings by closing down Furness Enterprise?


I read in the Westmorland Gazette that after 21 years of successful operation in helping thousands of people to find work in this area by assisting small businesses to set up in this area . . . .

At a time when we are all struggling to get to find jobs, the very organisation that we need to help small businesses stand up on their feet . . . . .

One that has worked so well in the past  . . . . .

The Furness Enterprise is to . . . .

Be helped to work even harder?

No it is to  . . . . . close.

No wonder Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: “This is bad news for the many local businesses Furness Enterprise supports, and is a terrible sign of the way the out-of-touch Conservative-led government is turning its back on areas like this.”

There's an e-petition to sign if you wish

Dave Whitehead, in the comments below, points us to an alternative view on the action being taken above.

It would be good to get people's views on the performance of Furness Enterprise. This is where a good councillor who is familiar with this organisation and we could trust could advise us. Alternatively some good investigative journalism by a local reporter. - I'm all for emplying one.

What do you think?

Thanks Dave,

It sounds like a complicated story.

Wouldn't be a good thing if we could hear an unbiased view.

Where do we look ?
