UK: North Lincolnshire Council Welcomes Able Marine Energy Park Decision

North Lincolnshire Council leader Cllr Liz Redfern welcomed the Government’s decision on the £450m Able Marine Energy Park – ‘minded to approve’.

Cllr Liz Redfern is confident that the obstacles on the £450m Able Marine Energy Park will be resolved in time for the Government’s final decision in December.

 Cllr Liz Redfern, leader, North Lincolnshire council, said:

 “I take the announcement as a major leap forward in the creation of the Able Marine Energy Park. It is subject to a couple of issues being resolved, but I am confident that these can be sorted in time for the Government’s final decision in December.

“The land in North Lincolnshire is without doubt the biggest enterprise zone in the UK. It will totally transform the Northern Lincolnshire economy and wider region.

 “This project will well and truly unlock the economic potential of this area and will have a major impact on local industry; not least it will initially create 500 construction jobs, plus the potential to create up to a total of 12,000 jobs.”
