 Infrastructure - A National Strategy

National infrastructure projects suffer from delays in decision-making, planning, and delivery resulting in increased costs and the holding back of economic growth. To enable strategic decision-making across successive parliamentary terms, there should be a single body that oversees, controls and agrees long-term national infrastructure planning and the delivery of projects based on demand and necessity, rather than political priorities.


Greater Manchester Chamber calls for:

•  The creation of an independent body with cross-party support that has responsibility for national infrastructure strategy on transport, digital, energy and major construction schemes (with the exception of housing), and oversight of key regional infrastructure requirements with appropriate local guidance.

•  The devolution of appropriate powers and funding to enable the delivery of strategic projects at a city region level providing that suitable and effective governance structures exist.
