A councillor has said he understands fears after the long-awaited Britishvolt gigafactory was hit by a further six month delay - but insisted he still believes the project will get done.
Production at the plant was initially expected to begin by the end of 2023, but this was later pushed back to the end of 2024 and is now expected in the middle of 2025.
The company have described it as a "six month adjustment" and blamed global geopolitical issues as well as inflationary pressures - but also added that it remained committed to the plant at Cambois near Blyth.
