A CONSTRUCTION company is struggling to find skilled bricklaying gangs in the Bury area for their sites in Radcliffe and Tottington.
Fred Knox, construction director for Morris (North) Ltd, said: "There seems to be a real shortage of trained people in the region, something that is an increasingly common problem across the country.
"We are keen to employ local people and help boost the local economy and it will be disappointing if we have to search further afield."
