####Steel Industry Revival
Wales has in the last few years alike the rest of the U.K faced massive economical damage in the Steel industry. Thousands of workers have lost their jobs due to decreasing demand and a lack of production and refinement jobs being available in the country. However this may be about to change for Wales, as industry union Community will be holding a conference in Redcan, Teeside.

The conference will allow worker, industry experts and politicians to gather and discuss potential developments for the future of the industry. One hundred workers and over 20 companies including Tata and Celsa will be attending the event to hear speeches by Rich Harrington and Communities general Roy Hickus about skill and technology focused improvement.

The steel industry in the U.K overall has declined by a massive 50% since 1997 whereas international production has scaled by 5% leaving Community to propose a mediocre outlook for it's future. However demand for U.K steel is expected to reach levels 18% higher by 2030 due mainly due to automobile production and construction, but the success of capitalizing this market will rely of effective and decisive investment to meet demand.

If innovation in the sector and growth can come of these actions then we can expect to see a significant upturn in the dissipating steel industry. The revival of which would bring much job creation and increased national stability during the decade after Brexit.
