Levelling up is good news to keep goods moving, says Logistics UK

The business group argues that these schemes will help to support existing – and develop new – business links within the supply chain.

Jonathan Walker, Logistics UK’s Head of Cities and Infrastructure Policy, comments: “To ensure that goods continue to move smoothly from source to end user, we are now urging local and regional administrations to work together, along with national infrastructure bodies, to support the UK's highly interconnected supply chains. It is vital that the successful projects are delivered quickly to support industry with the efficient delivery of the products households, businesses and public services rely on every day.

“In addition to having the correct infrastructure, it is essential that cities and regions nationwide have policies in place to support efficient last-mile journeys and logistics employment opportunities in their areas. We are encouraged by the fund’s focus on supporting carbon reduction nationwide and are urging successful local authorities to work with businesses to ensure that new schemes are delivered in a way that enables efficient freight movements and encourages businesses to invest.”
