With this strategy we aim to improve the quality of life for those living in the Midlands as well as attract even more international businesses to the region. We believe that investing in this region’s transport can benefit the whole country and create a positive ripple effect to boost the development of industry, skills and housing. Back in July, we launched the Picking Up The Pace report, which set out a case for accelerating the planning and design stages of key transport projects in the Midlands so they can be built during the first half of the 2020s. This was the first stage of a journey which laid the foundations for the strategy set out in this report. Along that journey, the route for Phase Two of HS2 was announced. This was a landmark moment that will ensure the Midlands and the UK will become major economic players on a global scale and must not be stalled if the wider UK economy is to prosper.

  • Emerging Strategy Executive Summary November 2016
    Emerging Strategy Executive Summary November 2016 Midlands Connect Powering the Midlands Engine Foreword Sir John Peace Chairman of Midlands Engine and Midlands Connect As we get closer to the finalisation of the Midlands Connect strategy in March 2017, we pause, in order to reassess the economic and political climate in which we are now in – and how that has changed in the few short months since I was appointed chairman of Midlands Connect. This Emerging Strategy, allows us to take that breath to ensure that we are still reaching for outcomes that are as relevant now as when we started the process. Our Emerging Strategy guides the path to the final strategy and identifies where we believe the emphasis should be. Our geographical position, infrastructure and access to supply chains, is what encourages so many companies to locate in the Midlands. We have national strengths in sectors such as manufacturing, freight and logistics and food technology; and we have attracted record levels of investment from China, India and North America since 2009. We need to continually invest in our transport infrastructure; not just for the Midlands but also for the whole of the UK to succeed outside of the EU. There are a huge amount of nationally important transport assets in our region; if these fail then the UK will fail. Our strategy is seeking extra capacity and faster journey times; but almost more importantly we’re planning for a more resilient network. HS2’s arrival to both the East and West Midlands will bring significant economic benefits; from both the new line itself and the capacity it releases elsewhere.
