Plans for Merchant Park, based close to train maker Hitachi Rail Europe's plant in Newton Aycliffe, got underway in March, when the first phase was set on motion on the back of a £9m investment by Merchant Park Developments.

The company's plans will see the addition of three large warehouse units on Millennium Way in a 65-acre park which will help to create around 1,014 jobs once all three phases of the site are completed.

This week has seen the topping out of Merchant Park's phase one 17-acre development, a significant step forward for the development which will provide 52,500 sqft and bring 198 jobs to the local area.
