   The rate of unemployment in Littleton, a small town in the south west of England, has reached a record high this week. According to Helen Santer of Littleton Business Association, there are currently over 4,000 people registered as unemployed. This represents almost a quarter of the town’s working population and is an increase of 5% compared to the previous year.
   The main reason for this rise was the closure of the last remaining factory in the town, LKS. The company, which manufactured a number of parts for use in the computer industry, finally closed its doors in August, leaving over 150 people without work.     Another major employer in Littleton, the Victoria Hotel, was recently bought by the well-known hotel chain Mount Clark, which fought off an attempted takeover by the health club operators Health Check.
   Although staff had feared that they would lose their jobs in the resulting reorganisation, hardly any ’employees have in fact been made redundant. The company’s management has recently announced ambitious plans for the improvement of the building’s guestrooms.  [br] Five per cent of Littleton’s working population do not have jobs.
