CIHT views for Union Connectivity Review

The union connectivity review (UCR) will provide independent advice to the government. It will provide an overview of how connectivity between the nations of the United Kingdom can support economic growth and improve quality of life.

It will focus on transport’s ability to maximise economic potential and to improve quality of life, and will outline a series of specific recommendations that will individually and collectively contribute to this outcome.

Deadline for responses 22 December.
