Responding to the publication of the Government’s Infrastructure Strategy, Jane Gratton, Deputy Director of Public Policy, said:   

“A 10-year strategy for infrastructure will give businesses and supply chains much needed clarity and certainty to plan. Crucially it will create a landscape for crowding in investment across all regions of the country.   

“Successful delivery will be dependent on the detail and having the skilled workforce in place.  So, it’s vital this strategy is underpinned by a robust skills strategy and an efficient and effective planning system. 

“To drive growth, we now need to see strategy become reality, with change implemented at pace and a pipeline of projects on the ground.”
