COUNCIL leaders in Hull and East Yorkshire have warned of potential job losses at a Saltend plant in a letter sent to two Government ministers.

Both Cllr Mike Ross and Cllr Anne Handley, the leaders of Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council respectively, have penned a letter addressed to the Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds MP, and Heidi Alexander MP, the Transport Secretary, in which they call for strong Government support for Vivergo Fuels ahead of the launch of the national Industrial Strategy.
