Logistics UK launches manifestos for Midlands and the North 


Logistics UK has this week (13 March) launched manifestos for the North and the Midlands ahead of Mayoral elections taking place on 2 May.

Both documents set out how the mayors can work with the logistics sector to confront the challenges of climate change and drive growth across the regions. To enable this, Logistics UK is calling for the further strengthening of the partnership between the regions and the logistics sector, supported by the appointment of a senior lead for logistics in each region, responsible for ensuring our sector has an increasingly prominent place in the region’s growth, environmental and skills strategies. 

On 2 May, voters in the regions will go to the polls to elect Mayor’s for Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, the Northeast, Tees Valley, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Midlands, and West Midlands. 

The Midlands manifesto can be downloaded here and the North of England manifesto can be accessed here

This follows the publication of the London manifesto ahead of the London Mayoral and Assembly elections on 2 May and a UK manifesto ahead of the General Election which will take place later this year.
