There has been widespread and justifiable delight at the news that GFG Alliance wants to expand its Fort William smelter to construct a new factory that will produce alloy car wheels.
As we have reported extensively in recent months, the new plant, to be run by the subsidiary company Liberty British Aluminium, is expected to generate hundreds of jobs and provide a very welcome boost to the economy of the Lochaber area.
