A multi-million pound expansion by an English meat processing firm into Scotland has been approved.
Shropshire-based Pickstock has been granted planning permission to build an abattoir close to the A74(M) near Ecclefechan in Dumfries and Galloway.
The company said the scheme would create up to 60 full-time jobs and reduce travel times for animals currently being taken to its site in Telford.
Dumfries and Galloway Council’s planning committee went with officer recommendations to approve the scheme.
