FSB reacts to today’s Manchester to Leeds HS3 announcement
Date published: 27 October 2014
FSB Regional Chairman for Greater Manchester & North Cheshire, Richard Gregg
Reacting to today’s announcement on HS3, Regional Chair for the FSB’s Manchester and North Cheshire region, Richard Gregg, said: “We are delighted better connectivity from East to West is being considered.
"There is widespread consensus that transport infrastructure in the North of England needs to be brought up to speed, and more frequent, reliable trains between Manchester and Leeds would also serve to ease congestion on the region’s motorways.
“However, this is just a starting point and it is important and timely that we move from recommendations and announcements to actions. Continued regional growth in the North of England depends on Government taking decisive action to make it an even better place to do business and better connected cities could only help support this aim.”
