Brownfield Redevelopment: North 2019

The Northern Powerhouse is all about boosting the local economy through the means of innovation, skills growth, infrastructure investment and culture, with strong backing from Government, including the promise to fund the high-speed rail route between Manchester and Leeds. Between 2015 and 2020 the government will have spent over £13 billion improving and modernising northern transport – a record level of investment, whilst also tackling housing, the business environment, citizens and research and development.
