Tha COMHAIRLE BOROUGH SCARBOROUGH A ’CUR RI BHITH A’ GABHAIL A-STEACH PLANA MCCAIN

Sgìre Scarborough Comhairle has formally recommended approval of McCain Foods’ GBP100m expansion plans to renew its Scarborough production facility.

A rèir nam meadhanan ionadail, cleachdaidh a’ chompanaidh cinneasachaidh bìdh reòta, a tha air a bhith ag obrachadh aig làrach Eastfield airson faisg air 50 bliadhna, an tasgadh gus an goireas a leudachadh agus obraichean a dhìon.

A bharrachd air ùrachadh uidheamachd, tha na planaichean ùrachaidh a’ toirt a-steach teicneòlas lughdachadh fàileadh den chiad ìre, a bharrachd air cruth-tìre timcheall air iomall na factaraidh.

Bidh teicneòlas ath-nuadhachail cuideachd mar phàirt den tasgadh, ann an oidhirp gus buaidh àrainneachdail na companaidh a lughdachadh tuilleadh.

Bill Bartlett, corporate affairs director for McCain, said: “We are delighted at the outcome of the planning committee’s decision to recommend approval of the renewal plans for our Scarborough site. This will see over GBP100m invested into our Scarborough facility. Established in Eastfield almost 50 years ago, the McCain Foods Scarborough facility is one of the company’s most successful sites. As the largest private employer in Scarborough and partner to many suppliers and community organizations in the area, we are dedicated to our operations here.”
