DEAR Editor - With the closure of UEF/Garringtons and the loss of 500 jobs, it was interesting to note where MP Julie Kirkbride's support was.

Her publicity photograph showing her support for the eye clinic transfer highlights her lack of support for the workforce of the local townsfolk in the area.

Not once has she been in the frontline fight to save the closure of this vital Bromsgrove lifeline.

A repeat of her party's abysmal support for the Rover worker, hospital staff, carpet manufacturers, miners and shipbuilders.
