Norfolk Chamber has launched a new Transport and Infrastructure Group. The aim of the group is to consider all aspects of transport infrastructure that impact on Norfolk businesses being able to grow. They will look to lobby and influence the decision makers to gain improvements for the benefit of business in Norfolk and ensure that the views of business are heard.
Members of the group include Norse, Aviva, Westcotec, Jack Richards & Sons and is chaired by the Chamber President, Jonathan Cage, Managing Director of Create Consulting Engineers.
All agreed that reliability of Norfolk’s transport systems is paramount to all businesses and the group also want to look at how technology will play a key role in the future of transport. Topics to be covered at future meetings include: improvements to the A47; Norwich city connectivity; rail links from both Norwich and King’s Lynn to London; and how to make the most of the A47 and A11 growth corridors.
Jonathan Cage, Managing Director of Create Consulting Engineers said:
“We want to ensure that Norfolk has transport infrastructure that is fit for the 21st century. Journey time reliability, safe roads and fast efficient rail services would enable Norfolk businesses to deliver economic growth and jobs for our region.”
