The new plant will create around seven hundred roles on site and a potential 1,500 roles for providers.

" Council bosses say they are prepared to talk to Siemens about any plans. Eddy Poll, executive member for commercial development at Lincolnshire County Council, said : "Any investment in our nation is always of interest to us and we may definitely be speaking with Siemens about their offers.
