Description

More than 200 jobs are to go at the engineering company Areva's St Leonard's site. The firm said the cuts were necessary to keep the company competitive in the world market.

Union leaders have described the cuts as a massive blow to Stafford. Areva bought the site from French engineering giant Alstom in late 2003.
