Great news but we need some real jobs out there. The council need to wake up and get distribution centres and the likes located in the town to get local people back to work. If other towns are able to do this ( Rochdale ) why can't we. Need to spend less time concentrating on shopping centres and market and get some proper jobs created.

I hope that this event is going to be realistic, and sticks to the true spirit of apprenticeships.

As they arrive, visitors should be sent to the Information kiosk down near Poundland, to ask for a long stand and a left-handed screwdriver!

Sense2: There's plenty of jobs out there. I've never been out of work for more than 2 months over my 13 year working life. People are just idle and not prepared to do a job that isn't what they are after. There's a big distribuation centre in Heywood, right on our doorstep and they will take on anyone that can count to 2.
