An ambitious development creating thousands of jobs for local people will start this week when Portsmouth City Council begins work on a new employment and enterprise park.

The Council hopes to create 3,500 jobs by developing land on Dunsbury Hill Farm in Havant.

Director of regeneration Kathy Wadsworth said the exciting plans to develop the Council-owned land represented a rare opportunity to boost the local economy by creating jobs and generating income for the city.

"This could have a real impact on local employment," said Wadsworth.  "We are delighted to announce that work is about to start on such an important scheme."

Contractors will begin by clearing trees and rehousing some of the protected wildlife on the site in preparation for the road access works which will start later in the year subject to external funding.
