Demolition of Wolverhampton’s last remaining Goodyear plant has been pushed back as the firm decides with developers what should be left standing.
The plant had been due to close on July 1 then July 20 as developers St Modwen submitted plans to take over the land.
Now, closure and demolition of the site has been halted again. Remaining workers were told about the delay on Tuesday.
This is because Goodyear need to decide what to demolish and what to leave standing.
Cyril Barrett, chair of the Unite branch at Goodyear said on Wednesday: “The demolition has been pushed back until late August.
“Workers were told yesterday. Goodyear have got to decide how they are going to do it and what the implications will be.”
The eventual demolition of the remaining Goodyear buildings will be the start of the development of the site.
