10,000 NEW JOBS COMING BUT HOW DO YOU GET FROM BRIGG TO EAST HALTON BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT?

Everyone is delighted that thousands of new jobs will be created in North Lincolnshire now the Able UK development near East Halton and Killingholme has been approved. But what if you are an unemployed Brigg man, or woman, without a car? How will you get to the far north-eastern corner of our area?
We are told that work on this very welcome initiative will start next month, with the development of the quay beginning in June 2014, and that the site will be finished for 2016.
So shouldn't the powers-that-be  begin the New Year by bringing about improving public transport? Could they get bus companies to alter their routes, or create new ones, so people from the Brigg area can get to where the jobs are?
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, Robert Goodwill, this week  announced the go-ahead for the £450m Able Marine Energy Park - the biggest offshore wind manufacturing facility in Europe, creating around 4,000 local jobs.
Together with the Able Logistics Park, which has already been given planning consent, this will represent a total investment of £550m and the creation of almost 10,000 jobs.
The Able Marine Energy Park  will manufacture and supply turbines to huge offshore wind farms.
Coun Liz Redfern, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: "Able UK and others have worked incredibly hard to bring about today’s result. This is fantastic news and a great opportunity which will unlock the economic potential of the Humber estuary. The go-ahead today signifies a real turning point in the manufacturing and engineering industry and brings a significant 
boost to local industry and jobs.  This is, without doubt, the biggest enterprise zone in the UK.  It will totally transform the Northern Lincolnshire economy and wider region. North Lincolnshire Council and the area's MPs have pressed for the Able Marine Energy Park (AMEP) to be a top priority and it has paid off. The development could require around one million tonnes of steel each year, which will be a massive boost to local steelworks Tata and presents a fantastic opportunity for the company to kick-start the economic recovery of steel – particularly for steel plate and long products.
“We have worked closely with Able UK from the start and are very excited about what we are about to see take shape.  We will have the biggest offshore wind farm in Europe – and it is here right on our doorstep. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Humber.”
Peter Stephenson, Able founder and Executive Chairman, said: “The Able Marine Energy Park’s significance has been compared to the impact of the Nissan development in the North East and I do not believe this is an exaggeration. The Humber is ideally placed in close proximity to the proposed world’s largest offshore wind farms and, coupled with the scale of the site and inherent strengths of local people and businesses, we have the very best package to offer the emerging wind sector. We are indebted to North Lincolnshire Council with whom we have worked throughout the development of our plans for Able Humber Port and the Able Marine Energy Park.  Their support and guidance has been invaluable."
