End of twitter postShipyard closure will have 'huge impact' on communitypublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2018
Kirk England
BBC Radio DevonLocal workers in Appledore say the closure of the shipyard will have a "huge impact" on the community.
The company operating the yard, Babcock International, says it "regrets" the decision to end work there in March next year.
It added all 199 workers will be offered relocation packages.
Earlier this week, thousands of people joined a march in support of the yard and signed a petition which was handed to the government asking ministers to help.
However, it doesn't appear this was enough.

BBC News OnlineThe closure of Appledore Shipyard is a "hammer blow" for the workers there as well as the Devon economy, the Unite union has said.
It said Thursday's announcement that the yard near Bideford will close in March has been met with "anger and dismay".
Unite regional officer Heathcliffe Pettifer said the government "could have done much more to secure future work for Appledore and that defence secretary Gavin Williamson wrung his hands in true Pontius Pilate fashion when he said it was a commercial decision for the company".
"The impact on the Devon economy will be widespread, devastating and enduring with the yard closing. It is a hammer blow for the workforce and the westcountry economy."
Babcock international has said it will offer relocation opportunities for all 199 employees affected and that it "regrets" the "difficult decision".
Quote MessageThe Appledore yard has played a key role in building the nation’s two new aircraft carriers. We spent more than £1.7bn with Babcock last year. We are very disappointed to hear that Babcock does not plan to renew the lease at Appledore and while this is a matter for the company, the government stands ready to support any workers affected at this concerning time."

Chris Ellis
BBC News OnlineThe Devon and Cornwall Police Federation has written to all MPs in the two counties saying the force is on "a cliff edge".
Chair Andrew Berry said the problem was twofold.
He said: "The policing budget for our force has reduced by £15m in cash terms since 2010/11 and, during that time, we have lost 975 personnel, including 510 police officers – that is 15% less police officers."
Image source, GoogleQuote MessageThe work undertaken by my members has not just increased due to the amount of recorded crime growing (31% in last two years), but also due to the complexity of the crime and the administrative burdens placed on officers by the criminal justice system.
Quote MessageFor instance, an allegation of rape by a vulnerable person may bring with it a mass of digital material and social services records to review and schedule even before the CPS would look at the case to decide if a charge might be appropriate. It is obviously right that evidence against an accused is properly tested, but it all comes at a price, which is officer time."
Andrew Berry, Chair
It comes on the same day Chief Constable Sara Thornton - the former head of the Thames Valley force who now chairs the National Police Chiefs' Council - said forces were too stretched to deal with "deserving" issues, such as logging gender-based hate incidents.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid acknowledged police were "feeling stretched" but promised forces would have the resources they needed by 2019-2020.

Two teenagers died with "very high" levels of MDMA in their blood after taking the drug at a Basshunter gig in Plymouth, a court has heard.
Charlie Gregory, 19, of Chagford, Devon, has been told he faces a "very real prospect" of going into custody for supplying his friends with the drug that caused their deaths.
He previously admitted one count of possessing the class A drug and four counts of supplying it.
Plymouth Crown Court heard he bought the drug on the dark web for £56 after he and friends booked tickets for the gig at Pryzm nightclub in Plymouth.

Aaron Reilly and Joshua Brock, both 19, were rushed to hospital after passing out in the club but were pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
The court heard Gregory secreted the drugs in his trousers.
The court heard subsequent tests showed the level of MDMA in Mr Reilly's and Mr Brock's blood was "well within the range where death has been attributed to MDMA alone".

Adjourning the case for a probation report, Judge Paul Darlow told the teenager - who faces a sentence of up to three years - he was making "no promises".
"It is very important that Mr Gregory understands that all options are open and custody remains a very, very real prospect."
Gregory was granted bail to appear before the court for sentence on 22 November.
