Thirty-four jobs hung in the balance at Langcliffe following news that the paper mill could close. John Roberts Holdings Ltd, which owned the former corn mill and cotton spinning mill, announced the possibility of the redundancies, blaming significantly rising energy and other costs. A spokesman for the company said in a statement: “After careful consideration of the trading pressures facing paper manufacturing, John Roberts Holdings Ltd has reluctantly decided to consider the possibility of closing its Langcliffe Paper Mill. There is little sign of trading conditions in paper manufacture improving.”
