Responding to the news construction giant Carillion has gone into liquidation, local Assembly Member Paul Davies said:

“It’s deeply disappointing that Carillion has not been able to find suitable financing options to secure its future and as a result, thousands of jobs have been lost across the country. Our first thoughts go out to those personally affected by this announcement and I sincerely hope that Governments at all levels will work with those families to secure employment or training elsewhere.”

“Locally, we know that Carillion was due to design and build the £57m A40 bypass, which is intended to run around the northern side of Llanddewi Velfrey. Therefore, it’s absolutely crucial that the implementation of this project continues without delay and I will of course, be monitoring the delivery scheme as it develops.”
