Delivering through strategic collaborative partnershipFounded autumn 2014 – To realise the Heartland’s economic potential

A growing movement of liked minded individuals/organisations committed to realising that ambition

Initiative came in response to recognition that:

• Strategic infrastructure issues (and solutions) extend beyond any one single area

• Issues that are common to one or more area can benefitfrom a co-ordinated response

• Need for stronger integration of investment by Government, its agencies, local authorities, as well as infrastructure and service providers


A Region of Economic Success ….


… but with infrastructure under pressure


National Infrastructure Commission:

• investment in east-west connectivity will provide a vital step in the development of a strategic transport corridor connecting East Anglia to the west of England and south Wales.

Budget 2018

• Importance of strategic transport connections to other parts of East Anglia, to Stansted and the M11 corridor, and to Heathrow and the M4 corridor

A region with economic potential to be realised ….


… against a backdrop of changing lifestylesAir Quality/Climate Change

“The government considers that the Oxford-Cambridge Arc is an opportunity to embody the ambitions of the 25 Year Environment Plan…
