The proposed development site at New Clee benefits from all of these elements but is recognised as being one of the most deprived areas in the UK, in need of investment in new skills and jobs. 

We recognise the benefits of the region and have every intention of delivering on our commitment to establish North East Lincolnshire as a best practice example in UK aquaculture, while providing good quality jobs, and new education and skills opportunities for local people.
