England’s Economic Heartland is publishing its regional Transport Strategy later this month - the result of a collaboration spanning Swindon across to Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire down to Hertfordshire.

The strategy sets out the step-change required to support green economic recovery and growth in a region which Government has made a national priority, while cutting carbon emissions – with an ambition to achieve net-zero ahead of the legal requirement of 2050.

To mark publication a free webinar is being held on February 26th, chaired by Local Transport Today editor Andrew Forster.
Confirmed panellists so far include:

Milton Keynes MP, Iain Stewart;
Elected Mayor of Bedford Dave Hodgson
Chair of EEH Bus Operators’ Association, Phil Southall
Economic Heartland, Head of Technical Programme, Naomi Green
Strategy and Planning Director, Network Rail, Mike Smith

The panel will discuss some of the key issues for the Heartland, with a particular emphasis on the approach to implementation and delivery. As always, there will be an opportunity for audience members to quiz panel members.
