Unemployment falls in Hemel

Mike Penning, MP for Hemel Hempstead, welcomed the Office of National Statistics figures.

He said: “The figures continue to show that we are right to focus on the economy nationally. This translates directly into local jobs and which provides a secure future for local families.

“Businesses recognise that this is a great area to be based in, with good communication links, a thriving business community and a business-focussed local council with major regeneration works taking place in the town centre.”
