Developing transport infrastructures
Although telecoms developments were
considered by most to be the significant
improvement the middle market needs,
transport improvements were also
highly ranked.
With e-commerce flourishing during
the coronavirus lockdowns, transport
improvements are of vital importance if
businesses are able to deliver on fast delivery
options and cheap prices. Transport will be key
to the movement of goods and workers for
businesses across the country but there are
considerable challenges in the way of these
improvements, especially with road works.
