The figures published this week show a growth in private sector employment, and the enterprise zones, which promise even further employment and growth in the private sector, will start in April. I am thinking, in particular, of new enterprise zones such as New Anglia’s in Great Yarmouth, which really is the best seaside town, because we have leisure and business in one place. With these zones coming into force in April, may I ask that we have a statement from the relevant Minister to reinforce and reaffirm the excellent opportunities that they offer?

Brandon is living in a different world than all the hungry work seekers in great Yarmouth.
The South Denes Enterprise Zone is a desolate waste land.
We are now a third of the way through the fifth year since we gave a group of bankers nearly £20 million and a successful river port.
AND STILL NO EMPLOYMENT, we are daily given pipe dreams by GYBC and our MP who seem to think that the electorate have nothing between their ears and will believe these electioneering fairy tales.
I believe they think they are in Hull Grimsby Teeside Harwich or Lowestoft what they preach does apply to these towns But Yarmouth NO because of their cock-ups it should be called the Dead Zone
