Why did Arla decide to close the Settle creamery despite proposals from the community to keep it open?

The closure of Arla's creamery reflects broader economic shifts affecting rural communities, where single-industry dependence can leave them vulnerable to large corporate decisions. The lack of engagement from Arla with community proposals to keep the creamery open showcases a disregard for the social impact of their actions, further exacerbating concerns about corporate responsibility. The impact extends beyond direct job losses to the wider supply chain and local businesses.
