The announcement that Mabey Bridge has begun a consultation on the
planned closure of its business in Station Road, Chepstow, where 150 people
work, is shocking, especially as the news has broken just before Christmas. The
Welsh Government needs to urgently step up
and see what assistance can be given to the firm, especially as a buyer is
being sought for its renewables section in Mathern, Chepstow, which employs 180
people. The company's infrastructure section makes highway bridges, railway
bridges, footbridges and sign gantries while its renewables division builds
wind turbine towers and carries out work in offshore renewable energy, the
production of which would help with infrastructure investment and developing
the renewable energy sector in Wales.
