Shift to home working during the pandemic has led to questions being raised about the business cases for new infrastructure but the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has said that public surveys and initial responses are not reliable guides to shifts in mass behaviour post-Covid.
According to a new report from the NIC, the social, economic and physical connections that brought cities together before the pandemic are still strong and it is too early to assume that long term behaviour change will lead to wholly different patterns of infrastructure use.
In its
Behaviour change and infrastructure beyond Covid-19 report, the NIC calls for projects to take an adaptive or phased approach to delivery where there is uncertainty around demand rather than delaying decisions indefinitely.
This assessment will inform the Integrated Rail Plan, which is due to be published in the coming weeks having been delayed due to pre-election purdah rules.
The survey also revealed that 63% of rail SMEs had increased turnover since HS2 construction began, with 61.5% taking on more staff and 38.5% hiring more apprentices since main construction started last year.
More than 80% of those surveyed said cancelling the eastern leg would have a negative impact on revenue, with 67% of SMEs surveyed eyeing up contracts on the Leeds leg of HS2.
HSRG director Susan Ryall said: “This industry survey shows how vital the whole of HS2 is to small and medium sized businesses - including the Eastern Leg. SMEs are the lifeblood of our industry, and they are sounding the alarm on what curtailing the project means for them.
