West Midlands mayor Andy Street has been a fervent backer of the HS2 project since its infancy. He’s also been part of the recent Oakervee review into the costs of the scheme. In this episode he explains why he believes the next Government must back it in full. We also hear from real estate expert Carl Potter, of Avison Young, who explains the lure of HS2 for developers and investors. And Paul Thandi, chief executive of the NEC Group, explains why regional businesses like his would still thrive without HS2 - but axing it would have a hugely negative impact on the future prosperity of the Midlands and the North.
