HS2 will act as a catalyst for growth and help level-up the country, boosting growth in the Midlands and the North.
In simple terms, the more places you can get to, more frequently, the more opportunities you will have for work, leisure and pleasure.
Pressed just this week by Anna Jameson on air for BBC Radio Manchester, despite her dogged efforts, the Prime Minister refused to guarantee HS2 to Manchester. It has already been scrapped to Leeds. What we are then left with is a game-changing idea squandered. The silver bullet to levelling up has turned out to be a dud. But it is not too late. Allow me to give the final word to Mark Reynolds, Mace Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
He told me this week:"Connectivity drives growth, and everyone recognises that at the moment our great northern cities are not served well enough by existing infrastructure. HS2 is our best opportunity to address that - there just aren't any other viable projects that could replace the huge benefits offered by high speed rail capacity reaching Manchester and beyond.
