Lyttle shocked by proposal to close Britvic factory in East Belfast

Alliance East Belfast MLA Chris Lyttle has expressed his shock at the proposal by Britvic to close their factory on Castlereagh Road in Belfast. 18 jobs are under threat if the proposal goes ahead.

Chris Lyttle MLA said: “If this factory is closed, it will effect not only 18 employees but the local community.

“If the decision is taken to close the factory then I would urge the company to utilise all possible Department for Employment and Learning assistance available to help employees back into employment.”
