Deeside road 'pivotal' to 5,000 jobs

Funding has been announced by the Welsh government for a new road, which it is hoped will kick start a major new development in Flintshire.

The highway will cut across the 420-acre Northern Gateway site on the Deeside Enterprise Zone where up to 5,000 jobs could eventually be created.

David Jones, the chair of the Deeside Enterprise Zone, said the announcement was key to the future of the development - and the economy of the region.
