Row brewing over new Mirehouse development

Residents from Whitehaven are holding a public meeting today to raise concerns over plans to build accommodation for 4000 workers at Mirehouse.

Some locals have issued complaints about letters they've received from TerraQuest, on behalf of NuGen.

The company's proposing to build accommodation and railway station to house workers for the new nuclear plant at Moorside, near Sellafield.

However, some residents say they've been issued letters which give the impression they'll be bought out of their homes without choice.

NuGen has issued a letter of apology to the community, saying they'd like to apologise for any confusion caused.
