5 ways to level up the North: APPG for 'Left Behind' Neighbourhoods | Episode 29

Transport for the North Podcast

Join Dame Diana Johnson MP (Kingston Upon Hull North) and Paul Howell MP (Sedgefield) as they discuss how they would level up the North! The All-Party Parliamentary Group for 'Left Behind' Neighbourhoods Co-Chairs also discuss their most recent report entitled, 'Connecting communities: improving transport to get ‘left behind’ neighbourhoods back on track'. We hear about the main findings of the report and the wider work of the APPG, which collaborates with a wide range of organisations, including the Local Trust. Our guests also dive into the key issues they face as Northern MPs and the bright future that better transport connections can offer for the region, through major programmes such as Northern Powerhouse Rail and HS2.
