\"M62\"<\/a>5 Northern cities have put forward a joint proposal to improve transport infrastructure in the North. Dignatries from Newcastle, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester & Liverpool met the chancellor George Osborne who gave a very favourable response to the plan.<\/a><\/p>\n

The plan which some are dubbing ‘HS3’ involves increasing road capacity, building a 125mph cross pennine rail link & improving local rail networks.<\/p>\n

Extending the current Metro-link in Greater Manchester & including Liverpool Airport & City Centre will reduce road traffic on the dreaded M62 & reinforce links between these 2 great cities.<\/p>\n

This is what ‘The North’ has been crying out for for the last 30 years.!<\/p>\n

If it is done correctly by focusing on rail & metro links & by reducing road traffic rather than simply encouraging more cars onto already congested roads it will transform the North into a place where companies want to move & invest.<\/p>\n

As someone who lives in Manchester but travels all over the country the gulf between North & South is gobsmacking. With\u00a0 the South vastly overpopulated & house buying out of the question for the young it is absolutely vital to invest in the North & build a prosperous & diversified economy.<\/p>\n

It is essential to maintain the pressure on George Osborne to put his money where his mouth is.<\/p>\n
