A MULTI-MILLION pound package of measures could be put in place to offset the effects of shipbuilding being axed in Portsmouth, The News can reveal.
Portsmouth City Council could be given more than £200m to unlock land owned by the Ministry of Defence at Tipner and at Horsea Land.
The plots could be used to build thousands of new homes and create businesses attracting thousands of new jobs.
A board of maritime experts could be hired and their expertise would be used to help transform the yard.
