Plans by Laing O’Rourke
to build a new off-site manufacturing facility at a derelict
site in Steetley have been given the final go ahead and
with it, 270 local jobs will soon be created. The facility
will produce pre-cast concrete for use on Laing O’Rourke’s
construction projects throughout the UK.
Local director for Laing O’Rourke, John Moran,
said “we were delighted to hear the news and will now be pushing on at pace to begin
the construction of our new factory at Steetley. When we announced our
plans last year we received an enormous level of support
from the local community
because we were investing in the area and would be providing
new opportunities for quality jobs. We can now live up
to our promise and look forward to bringing our plans
to fruition.”
Keith Isard, Portfolio Holder
for Community Prosperity (and Planning) at the Council,
added "this will provide a significant
boost to the local economy. I am also looking forward
to progress
being made on the next phase of the development which
will bring even more benefits to the local area.”
