A NUCLEAR energy company has dispelled rumours that it is pulling out of building a new plant at Oldbury.
Horizon Nuclear Energy has told the Gazette that it is business as usual after reports in the national press that the company was to abandon its plans to build a new power station at Shepperdine, near Oldbury.
Leon Flexman, from Horizon, said: "It is not true. I can categorically say that nothing has changed.
"The situation is as it was when we spoke with local people a couple of weeks ago.
"We are still carrying on and it is business as usual at Horizon."
Mr Flexman said the company hoped to be able to reveal a more detailed programme for the nuclear project later in the year.
