Plans for a new factory at a Northumberland coastal town look set to be given the go-ahead by councillors next week.
JDR Cable Systems announced plans to create a new site at Cambois, near Blyth, in September last year. The factory would be located on land north of the former Blyth Power station in the Sleekburn area.
The firm, which makes high-voltage cables to connect to offshore wind farms, received Government funds and private investment to open the site. As well as creating new jobs, the project will help protect 270 current jobs at the company's existing site in Hartlepool.
