Transport and Infrastructure
What’s holding us back?
Outdated transport networks and poor connectivity are holding back economic growth in the East of England, limiting access to key markets and opportunities.
Why we need action
Upgrading infrastructure is critical to boosting productivity, supporting sustainable growth, and ensuring the region’s contribution to the UK’s economic success. Investment in transport and utilities will drive innovation, reduce congestion, and prepare the region for the future.
What we need to succeed
Faster 5G & EV Charging Rollout – Accelerating the rollout of 5G networks and expanding electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
Rail upgrades – Investment in vital rail projects, including upgrades to the Ely, Haughley, and Trowse junctions, and the completion of East-West Rail
Road Improvements – Key Road projects, such as improvements to the A14 Junction 55, A11 Fiveways, A47, A10, A120, and A12
Water & Energy Resilience – Addressing water supply challenges and investing in infrastructure to enhance water and energy resilience
Chambers East is working with the region’s MPs, local government and other partners to make the case for investment in much needed infrastructure.
