MADE IN THE EAST MIDLANDS
FEATURE
Councillor Jon Collins (pictured),
HS2 Strategic Board Chair and Leader of Nottingham City Council, said: “HS2 is not just about better transport, we intend to use it as a catalyst to create new business opportunities which will bring thousands of extra jobs to the region. “It’s really important that we put
the site around the new HS2 hub to good use, so it makes sense to develop an Innovation Campus which plays to the strengths of emerging regional business sectors and local university research. It will benefit from all the enhanced transport links that we see as vital to making the most of the HS2 hub in the East Midlands.” Peter Richardson, Chair of the
D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “For local people and businesses across the East Midlands, HS2 will mean more jobs and training opportunities, trade and investment, housing opportunities at a range of
different sites, train services with quicker journey times, and better local transport connections. To make all this happen we need to plan early and engage support from all sectors of our community. This East Midlands HS2 Growth Strategy provides an excellent and practical vision of how we want to achieve that.” Sir John Peace, Chair of the Midlands Engine and Midlands Connect, said: “We are fully supportive of accelerating completion of the East Midlands HS2 Hub and are urging Government to bring this forward.” Scott Knowles, Chief Executive at
the Chamber, said: “HS2 is the single biggest transport infrastructure project in a generation, and represents a huge opportunity for businesses across the East Midlands and beyond. “It will be a catalyst that drives
regeneration along its entire route and leads to wider infrastructure investment, it will utilise the skills available in the world’s greatest cluster of rail-related businesses in Derby and create opportunities to make sure those skills and new ones will pass to the next generation. It will bring together a raft of different partners as they work together to maximise the opportunities of HS2, both during construction and for decades afterwards.”
