Andy McDonald's face on a graphic which reads:
Net Zero Teesside, delivered by the Labour government, is the single biggest investment in Teesside in our history. It is worth £4bn, will create 3,000 construction jobs and 1,000 well paid permanent jobs and will make our area leaders in the industries of the future. The importance of this announcement cannot be overstated.
Just as we have led the industries of the past with iron and steel, we now look forward with optimism to our future as a global leader in clean technologies.
To see this signed, sealed and delivered after just five months of a Labour government, five months in which we've seen £2bn
investment in hydrogen technologies in the Tees Valley, £500m to save the Hitachi plant - safeguarding jobs and the supply chain and a life extension of Hartlepool Power Station protecting more jobs and securing clean energy, is incredible.
Labour is delivering for Teesside.
Net Zero Teesside, delivered by the Labour government, is the single biggest investment in Teesside in our history.
