Council clarifies Britishvolt comments

The Council has moved to clarify comments made about Britishvolt funding made to the media over the weekend. 
 
A statement given to BBC Politics North regarding Government funding for the company was not accurate. 
 
The claim that the reason the grant funding wasn’t brought forward was because Britishvolt cannot guarantee the monies will be spent on the Cambois site is not correct – and the council has had assurances from the company around this. 
 
The council continues to work closley with Britishvolt and the Government to realise the massive opportunity a gigaplant offers to the county the region and the whole country.  
 
It will continue to work with both parties going forward and urge the Government to do all it can to support a gigaplant in Blyth.
