People Before Profit Cllr said,
“Reports that the Richmond Centre has been put in receivership are concerning.
It’s reported ‘business as usual’ will continue but there’s too many jobs there and the Richmond Centre is too important economically to the city and region to take this for granted.
The Council, political parties, trade union representatives, others with responsibility, including if necessary the Minister for the Economy, will need to engage with the Joint Receivers to make sure jobs and services are protected.
As we attempt to build out of the worst of the pandemic and try to build back better it’s vital we don’t have a hands off approach when it comes to the decisions with potentially hugh ramifications by corporations, management bodies, commercial landlords and others.
Protecting jobs, communities and defence of amenities and resources for the North West must be the priority in the coming months and years.”
