The Infrastructure and Transport Group, chaired by David Ball of the David Ball Group, comprises companies that recognise a need for enhanced infrastructure and transport provisions to realise future growth.
It’s the first major opportunity for the wider business community to contribute to the group, which is being co-ordinated by Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce.
The group has made a commitment to support the work of the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Enterprise Partnership covering the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough local authority areas by establishing the key business priorities across the area and lobbying for real progress.
John Bridge OBE, Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “This exceptional group of business people has come together because they recognise that Cambridgeshire needs a plan going forward, and that plan needs to be both cohesive and deliverable. We are delighted to be in a position to facilitate this vital role as some of the county’s most influential businesses work hard to establish the individual schemes most crucial to economic growth and present their proposals to decision-makers both locally and nationally.”
The group has already identified six key areas for investment including road connectivity, rail connectivity, international connectivity, digital connectivity, housing supply and energy and water supply. Now local businesses are being asked to put forward their suggestions of the individual schemes they believe would unlock future economic growth.
