A tricky balancing act for @RachelReevesMP with her #SpendingReview. Next week's RIS3 is a key moment where we'll know more about the Govt's plans to improve roads and infrastructure over the next few years. We're calling for green light for key projects. #RHAInfrastructure.
While significant rail investment has been announced, there remains a lack of priority given to the road investment required to unlock growth and alleviate congestion. 👇. The government must recognise that major road investment is critical to keep goods, passengers & communities
