Crossrail 2
The government’s decision to approve London’s Crossrail2 project has
proven controversial.
When Crossrail was approved we were assured that investment in the North was a priority – everyone in the North East knows that this claim proved to be false.
When Crossrail was approved we were assured that investment in the North was a priority – everyone in the North East knows that this claim proved to be false.
Now Crossrail2 is being finalised and we are once again being told that
infrastructure in the North is a priority. I wonder if any of your readers
actually believe these latest claims? I certainly don’t.
During every election campaign Labour and Tory MPs come up to the North
East to reveal their grand plans to invest in our roads and railways, but once
the election has ended we seldom hear anything more about these promises until
the next election campaign has begun.
The North East does not need any more empty promises or pointless hype
about the mythical ‘Northern Powerhouse.’ We need the infrastructure investment
that we have been lacking for decades. Jonathan
Arnott MEP.
