Our industries depend on reliable transport links to regional, national and international markets. To keep world-class brands here, and entice new ones, we need a long-term approach to addressing the 21st century challenges being placed on our road and rail networks.
And the small and medium sized enterprises that form the backbone of the Midlands economy are just as dependent on transport improvements to grow.
To make that case for investment more effectively, we are listening to and working with businesses to understand what they need to thrive.
Through our partnerships with chambers of commerce and local enterprise partnerships, we’re speaking to business leaders every day about their transport priorities, listening to them and making sure our recommendations have their interests at heart.
Without the help and support of business, we can’t make a compelling case to government for regional infrastructure investment that raises productivity, supports the creation of new jobs and housing, and generates inclusive growth for the benefit of every resident of the Midlands.
