A lobbying organisation from the North East says they’re pleased after having discussions with Northumberland County Council over the future of a new rail project.
Construction Alliance North East had raised concerns as to why the council had opened up the tendering process to contractors across the country rather than in the North East, but they have now met together to discuss their reasoning.
“CAN very much welcomes this level of much needed spend on major infrastructure projects here in the North East, which of course brings construction jobs but also long-term economic benefits to our region,” said Chair Ken Parkin.
