Record View says Holyrood and Westminster must now work together to work out how we reach net zero without creating a jobs desert.
The closure of Scotland’s only oil refinery is a stark reminder that the loss of heavy industry did not end in the 80s. Oil has been refined at Grangemouth for just over a century but that long story will come to an end in spring next year.
We can’t just sit back and let the markets decide to shut down massive parts of our economy, with no strategy to replace oil jobs with other skilled industrial posts. The Grangemouth refinery closure is a disaster for the local and national economy. We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
