  • Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA
    Douglas Oakervee Independent Chair, Oakervee Review Department for Transport Albany House 94-98 Petty France London SW1H 9EA Dear Douglas Oakervee Review Submission from Greater Manchester Parliamentarians As members of the Greater Manchester All Party Parliamentary Group (GM APPG) we wanted to welcome your review on the future of HS2 and to ensure that the collective views of Greater Manchester Parliamentarians are considered and taken on board. Greater Manchester MPs of all parties work collaboratively to provide a strong voice for the city- region in Westminster, working alongside the Mayor and local business and political leaders to help maximise future investment and growth for the benefit of the communities throughout Greater Manchester. We want to emphasise the following key points: After decades of underinvestment in strategic rail infrastructure and transport in the North, HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, if combined with a clear commitment to much needed investment in our intra city transport networks, will provide the basis for a once-in-a-generation programme to secure the levels of investment and productivity in our northern cities that is essential to transform the North’s economic output and the life chances of residents here. Given the scale of the challenge to rebalance and level-up the UK, the GMAPPG strongly believes that choices cannot be made between HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail. Only by delivering the two initiatives together, as a future strategic rail network can we achieve the transformational economic outcomes that we share with Government. In making our case we would urge your team to consider the following points: • The full and timely delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) and HS2 Phase 2b is central to Greater Manchester’s wider ambitions for the role of rail in city-region growth.

  • Response to LCG Questions from Jonathan Reynolds. We Also Comment on His Responses. the Following Is the Extract from Mr
    Response to LCG questions from Jonathan Reynolds. We also comment on his responses. The following is the extract from Mr. Reynolds’ response which is relevant to our questions. We’ve organised these by A, B, C etc. Mr. Reynolds’ comments are in blue italics. LCG = Longdendale Community Group. A. Reynolds: We need more housing but I only support developments that contain a mixture of housing sizes, good design, and affordable homes. None of this information is available with regard to these sites, as this stage of the process only deals with land allocation. LCG response: The GMSF plans do give some indication. For instance, regarding Mottram the sites should deliver “where possible higher value development.” B. Reynolds: .....young people and families paying extortionate mortgages, or not being able to afford a home at all. A huge number of working people in their 20s still live with their parents.....It's not right and we must do better. Failure to build any new homes at all would mean that within our lifetime home ownership would become a distance dream reserved for the rich, and homelessness would rocket. We have to plan new homes but we have to get it right. LCG: an amplification of the question 4b? No comment re question 4b, on how “proposed housing on these 3 sites will help 20-25 year olds get onto the housing market?” C. Reynolds: Housing in Greater Manchester (GM) over the next 20 years is currently being considered in the ‘Greater Manchester Spatial Framework’. I think this is the right approach because planning housing on a GM basis means urban areas like Salford and Manchester can take a greater share than us.
