THE closure of Honda s Swindon plant will have a big knock-on effect on other businesses in the area. Though some of the car manufacturing plant s staff live locally, many commuted from further afield, so pubs, cafes and takeaways near the site who have been fuelling the workforce for years are expecting a change in footfall. Amjad Qazi said: I dropped food off from our Saffron Tandoori takeaway on Tuesday night. We regularly had orders from Honda staff. The person I spoke to was clearly upset but he said most of the people he knows have a new job lined up already.
