IN a week that has left Larne reeling from one of the worst economic announcements in years, a united front has been forged to tackle the crisis.

A special meeting was called on Friday, September 14, attended by key players including Finance Minister and East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson, at which it was resolved that a local economic taskforce be set up.
