BUSINESS REPORT CORRIDOR LEADS TO THE HUB


Leading regional law firm Howes Percival has launched a new information hub for individuals and organisations impacted by, or interested in, the East-West Growth Corridor. In November 2017, the National


Infrastructure Commission (NIC) published its final report on how to maximise the economic potential of the Cambridge-Milton Keynes- Oxford corridor. The report outlined the opportunities to create one million new homes and 1.1 million new jobs in the area by 2050. Howes Percival, which has


offices in Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Northampton and Norwich, has set up the new website to act as a central hub for businesses and individuals interested in the Growth Corridor. It aims to collate a wide range of available resources and also comment on developments across the Corridor, as they happen. In addition to the new site, there


is also a dedicated Twitter feed, LinkedIn discussion group and an


‘WE HOPE IT


CAN BECOME A REALLY USEFUL RESOURCE FOR EVERYONE


CONCERNED’


Lisa Mantle and Iain Stewart MP at the All Parties Parliamentary Group launch event


email sign-up option to


ensure all interested parties keep up with the latest East-West news. Howes Percival Partner Lisa


Mantle said: “Year-on-year, Cambridge, Oxford and Milton Keynes top the league table


rankings as the fastest growing cities in the UK. But Government believes they could do even better if there was the right infrastructure in place connecting the region. “The proposal set out by the NIC


for the East-West Corridor is a ‘once in a lifetime’ bold and exciting vision and we think everyone impacted by it should be


engaged and able to follow the developments and the debates. This new site aims to fill a gap in that provision and we hope it can become a really useful resource for everyone concerned.”
