Stewart Jackson MP: Land Registry jobs saved.

This interview with Conservative MP Stewart Jackson followed the news that the Land Registry office in Peterborough has been saved from closure. It was broadcast at 07:15 on Thursday 18th March 2010 in Paul Stainton’s BBC Peterborough Breakfast Show.

PS: Three hundred city jobs have been saved. That’s the big news this morning. The Land Registry announced yesterday they’d scrapped plans to close the Peterborough office. Six months ago staff were told the office was likely to close. Alex Bone, who works at the office told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire about the moment they found out they were keeping their jobs.
AB TAPE: It was really surreal in that you’ve got three hundred people gathered there, and just the noise, the noise going on, the noise. And then our area manager came in and then there was just this deathly silence. He didn’t initially say straight away, he opened he ran through a number of things, some other things, and just thinking, just tell us please. And then he did say, right, the following offices are going to keep open. And then he announced Croydon, and you’re thinking right, OK, and then he said Peterborough, but it was a bit, a little bit drawn out, well it seemed to be, and there were a lot of happy faces obviously. Some people were actually crying with relief.
PS: Very relieved. Very happy people in Peterborough this morning. Conservative MP for Peterborough Stewart Jackson is with us. Morning Stewart.
SJ: Good morning Paul.
PS: A concerted campaign by the unions, and by your goodselves, seems to have paid dividends, yes.
