German trees are more efficient

Buried further in the story is this rather nice snippet:

Mr Bradshaw said City’s drive to help the local community was already under way. He said: “There are just under 100 people working there at the moment and of those 64 were taken off the long-term unemployment list in Manchester. Half of those are under 24 and are now engaged with ongoing training working on programmes that can give them transferable skills. When the site changes, some will hopefully work on the construction side.”
