abstract:The Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) is a manufacturing technology park in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Technologies on the AMP centre on materials and structures, covering metallic and composite materials, typically used in precision industries including; aerospace, automotive, sport, environmental, nuclear, and energy, oil and gas, defence and construction.
It will encompass the existing AdvancedManufacturingPark which has already been operating for the past five years on what used to be part of the giant Orgreave coking plant.
Mr Clegg said a route in central Sheffield would have cut through a 4, 000 home community housing development, the state-of-the-art AdvancedManufacturingPark in Rotherham and a stretch of ancient woodland.
