Northumberland councillors remain confident a crucial gigafactory will be completed despite reports the project was on 'life support' in a bid to cut costs.
Britishvolt's electric car battery plant under construction at Cambois near Blyth has been heralded as a game changer for the area, with thousands of new jobs set to be provided.
Construction has begun on the 95-hectare site that will eventually become one of the biggest buildings in the world - and the company has insisted that it remains on target for completion of the factory.
