MAY I congratulate the management and teams of workers at Nissan, in Washington, Wearside, for securing the contract to make the new electric car, the Leaf, which – with the new battery plant already announced – will put the North-East at the forefront of electric car manufacturing in Europe.
This latest announcement underlines the skills, dedication and determination that all sections within the Nissan factory and its supply contractors have shown.
Even in times of global economic uncertainty the North-East work ethic of all pulling together and securing a better future has once again paid off. Well done, one and all.
Bob Price, Sunderland.
