Two of the North West’s key transport organisations are joining forces to create a world-class road network for Greater Manchester.
Highways England and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) have signed a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ which will see the two bodies work in partnership to develop shared priorities and a long-term vision for motorways and key roads across the city-region.
The move follows the formation of Highways England earlier this year, a Government-owned company with a five-year budget of over £11 billion to invest in England’s motorways and major A roads.
The new joint document aims to support economic growth in the region over the next 20 years.
Graham Dalton, chief executive of Highways England, and Jon Lamonte, chief executive of TfGM, put pen to paper at an official signing in London on Thursday, May 14.
