Local authorities have redoubled efforts to convince Chancellor Rishi Sunak to support projects such as a new Deeside Parkway station and the modernisation of Chester’s station in the Budget Statement on 3 March.
The news coincides with reports that Transport for the North has been asked by Secretary of State Grant Shapps to hold off on submitting its outline business case for Northern Powerhouse Rail until completion of a Government report into how it will link to HS2, suggesting the funding situation could tighten.
Prior to the Spending Review in November, local authority leaders from North Wales, the Wirral and Cheshire West & Chester in the public-private Growth Track 360 partnership had urged Chancellor Rishi Sunak for a £20m development fund to enable progress across key projects.
