Regional A brief round-up of all the most Business important stories of business information for the south Wales and News South West England regions Job Losses in the region

Maritime Coastguard - Plans to close Portland Coastguard station in Dorset have caused anger. The other seven centres that will be shut are Clyde, Forth, Liverpool, Yarmouth, Brixham, Thames and Swansea. In response to reports suggesting the station would be kept open until after the Olympic sailing events in 2012, Mr Drax MP said: "If they are vital up to the Olympics, they are vital after the Olympics. There are projected to be big declines within the Wiltshire area within skilled trades (-5,000 jobs) and administrative/secretarial occupations (-3,000 jobs) to 2017. Equally it is anticipated that there will be a significant increase within Wiltshire amongst Managers and Senior Officials and amongst professional/ technical occupations.
