What the petition asks
There is an abundance of shipbuilding ability going to waste in the Tyneside area, we have the facilities we have a ready and willing workforce that would jump at the chance of helping to bolster the UK's defence capabilities by building warships on the Tyne once again.
Don't let the Tyne shipbuilding industry die, we are the northern powerhouse, utilise us and give us the opportunity to deliver to the navy a new fleet of warships built on time and to the highest standards of workmanship that will be required by the countries best shipbuilders. Please sign this petition and bring shipbuilding back to the Tyne.
