Priority 3: Improved Connectivity and Decarbonisation
Can government accelerate delivery of railway enhancements (East-West
Rail, Great Eastern Mainline, West Anglia Mainline)?
Will government support the emerging Strategic Outline Business Cases of
our region's two Freeports?
The East of England needs to see 100% Gigabit and 5G/4G broadband
coverage
Will government increase funding for councils to achieve active travel and
passenger transport networks?
We need multi-year financial settlements for Sub-national Transport Bodies
(STBs)
Priority 4: Financially resilient councils
We need increased, longer-term funding for councils
We must give councils greater flexibility and freedom to generate income
