Future for Dundee's Michelin Tyre Factory In The Balance

Dundee East MSP Shona Robison has urged the UK government to “think again” on investing £50 million through the Tay Cities Deal to secure a future for the Michelin tyre factory in Dundee.

An extra cash injection has been ruled out yesterday by Scottish Secretary David Mundell. Since the potential closure of Dundee’s Michelin plant was announced, the SNP has urged the UK government to come forward with an additional £50 million to help save jobs – which would simply match the £200 million in city deal funding already committed by the Scottish Government.

Ms Robison said that failure to explore every option to secure jobs at the site, including an extra £50 million cash injection, would be “unforgiveable”.
