Meet Karen and her husband John, who describes his wife as an 'agony aunt' to the town. They take us around Redcar and describe the mood after the closure of the SSI steelworks. Panorama is in Redcar to find out how the town is coping after the closure. Around 2,000 people have lost their jobs. The government has promised £80 million in an aid package.

As a local of the area ( New Marske ) I spent many a time in Redcar in the 60s/70s, back then it attracted quite a lot of tourists, I've seen many video's of present day Redcar and to be honest it's not the fun place I remember, sad to see empty shops and business owners struggling but I guess many towns are the same. Hope there are better times ahead because I have great memories of this seaside town.

Very sad to see. Love Redcar, lived there for many years, some of the friendliest people you will ever meet.

I lived in Redcar till I was 16 then like so many left the town looking for work in 1981. I miss it, I’d go back. I still 41 years later think of it as home.

Redcar is a wonderful place. I visit there every year on my annual trips to the UK from Australia.

Why the subtitles? Are there actually people who don't understand what they are saying?

Thank you for being so honest and the shop looks like a good thing for your community

I was there in the 70s and the local kids would ask for 1 pound to protect your parked car, if you didn't pay the car would be trashed on return, tried calling the police and they advised me to give them the pound. Has the price gone up now?
