Its a disgrace that our Government thinks so little of our Teeside Steelworkers and instead will turn to inferior , subsidised steel from China. Cheapness does not equal quality and at what cost to our English workforce. Shame on you Mr Cameron.

We will need steel for many future infrastructure projects and the Government should keep the works open. The Government should insist on Teeside steel being used on these projects and uniquely specify it in the contracts. Every other country does it.

I was a teenager when Thatcher decimated the coal industry in the North East. Her actions left whole communities split, without work and without money . Here we are thirty years later, fighting the same battle. I hope this makes a difference.

Support the steelworks staying -if Redcar loses it's heart the long term huan and financial costs will outweigh the cost of financial. support given now. Get those who owe taxes eg Amazon/Starbucks etc to pay up and support our Northern Powerhouse !

The steelworks are a vital source of employment for our residents. My family journeyed to Teesside from Germany to help build the works and generations of my family have worked here since. Both my brothers work here now and rely on this industry.

As an employee in the UK steel industry and a Trade Union Offical I strongly Urge the UK Government to go above and beyond to save our steel manufactoring and help secure the future of thousands of jobs. Don't let the lights go out of our proud industry.

For god's sake do the right thing and save this vital industry
