Multi-million pound plans to develop a cutting-edge vocational training centre in one of the most deprived parts of Northumberland have moved a step closer.
Councillors on Northumberland County Council's cabinet approved the full business case for the £13.6 million Energy Central Campus learning hub in Blyth on Tuesday.
Members said the first phase of the two-part project would help residents of the town get the training they need to access new, highly paid jobs being created in the area around the green energy industry.
