Campaigners were celebrating today after a project tipped to create 16,000 jobs, boost Britain’s beleaguered steel industry and generate enough energy to power 24 million homes was given the green light.
The Celtic Freeport scheme for Port Talbot and Milford Haven was one of two Welsh freeports to win approval, along with another in Anglesey.
The Welsh Government said: “The freeports will form special zones with the benefits of simplified customs procedures, relief on customs duties, tax benefits and development flexibility.
