New Car Battery Plant

- Start date
If it was just about paying to be in a trading bloc, I would have voted remain. It was, among other things, about paying to be told what to do by others, paying to give free unchecked access to anyone who wanted to come here for any reason and paying to allow workers from poorer EU countries to be treated like dirt so that unscrupulous employers could pick them above British workers and generally bring down the wages of British workers in certain trades/industries.except when it comes to paying a measly 7 bill for access to the best trading bloc on the planet.
Did you use cheap foreign workers by any chance, Nosey?

Is that why they were offering lorry drivers thousands of pounds in bonuses as a sign on incentive?
Yes pretty much, except the empty fruit and veg shelves at Tesco are testament to it not working, I imagine we will be welcoming foreign drivers again soon. If I thought for a moment brexhit would help the British economy and British workers I would have voted for it in a heartbeat
Blup
No sign of it at my Sainsburys or the Lidl I go to. Chokkablock.
Well this battery plant / factory is a good thing : good news
Buy as per usual the usual suspects
( fruit cakes) dig around for any thing to some how find fault
Tis who they are tis what they do
Rabid Whinging Remoaners (RWR) consumed with hatred
Dunno why they stay in the UK
If I had my way I would kick em out the UK so as to ease the migration burden / issues
And there is a difference between a remoaner and remainer imo

Northumberland battery factory ditched in favour of data centre
Much vaunted plans for a Northumberland gigafactory collapsed along with the company Britishvolt.

Probably some thing to do with the French ??
Along with some Australian scammers ???
As I understand it the county council are well pleased with another proposal / deal that will see it turned into some type of computer hub / data set up that they claim will create thousands of jobs ???
Oh well
Since when would a datacentre create thousands of jobs? Might be quite a few to build, but long term, its a small amount compared to a large factory.Probably some thing to do with the French ??

Oh well
it is short term thinking
in the long term car manufacture will be located near to gigafactories
there is heavy investment in gigafactories across Europe, 40 new factories are planned
The UK needs to step up or it will end up not being in the game and never catching up
Take it up with the BBC news report yesterday on radio 4
And those speaking about it
Northumberland council are expecting a 120 (?) million boost to there finances over the caper
Any issue with that take it up with the council

"By comparison, the number of jobs at a typical data center can be anywhere between five and 30."
The Mystery Impact of Data Centers on Local Economies Revealed - Area Development
Although they do not create as many permanent jobs as other types of projects, capital investment in data centers can be quite substantial, justifying large incentives offerings.

And lets not forget who is making the claim: Northumbria Council, who were taken in by a few chancers to build a giga factory.
It may employ many people to set up of course.

The job numbers will include supply chains. Modern manufacture means as few people as possible. R&D and D&D add more jobs but depends where it's done. It can also go horribly wrong eg Brit Volt.
The main attraction here is access to the EU providing sufficient work is done here. Transport a bit of a issue. It always has been.
Supply chains? The Toyota Avensis is an example. Instead of MG who simply assemble Chinese kits Toyota took the decision to make all parts here providing the parts met their quality standards.. This equals more jobs than they directly employ. Actually while using google maps to browse around Coleshill it looks like there are 2 battery factories there. What they actually do on site pass.
