The Construction Equipment Association have commented on the government’s controversial decision to scrap HS2’s eastern leg from Birmingham to Sheffield and Leeds.
“The demise of Phase 2b, East Midlands-Leeds HS2 high-speed line, clouds the original vision of HS2 as a dynamic North/South link in line with the levelling up agenda. The concern is whether the government will row back on other infrastructure ‘commitments’. A solid project pipeline is the lifeblood of our sector.” said Suneeta Johal CEO CEA, (Construction Equipment Association).
