FIGURES for March, just released by the Office of National Statistics show the number of unemployed claimants in the North Herefordshire constituency,which includes Ledbury, was 442.
This shows a fall of 85 from March 2015.
Local MP, Bill Wiggin said: “I am delighted that unemployment has decreased once again in my constituency. North Herefordshire is a wonderful place to live and work for people of all ages.
"Each new job is a worker and his or her family with the security of a pay packet. We must continue to strive to bring these figures down even further, both in North Herefordshire and the UK.”
