Description
Welcome to another episode of the Transport for the North Podcast!
Join our new Business Matters series, which looks at transport investment as an enabling force to encourage job creation, economic growth and increased access to opportunity for the 16 million people living here.
This time we speak with Councillor Keith Little and Dr Steve Curl, who are the TfN Member Board Members for Cumbria. They represent County Council and The Local Enterprise Partnership, telling us how improved public transport in Cumbria could strengthen the visitor economy and end transport related social exclusion in more rural areas.
We evaluate the diverse range of industries situated in Cumbria, including large industrial clusters along the coastline in towns such as Barrow-In-Furness. We also consider how tourism and agriculture provide plenty of opportunities, alongside the growing number of people who choose to work remotely from home in this beautiful part of the North.
Finally, we hear about Cumbria’s new Transport Infrastructure Plan and the potential it can unlock alongside plans drawn up by TfN. Listen now to find out why Cumbria is a great place to do business and what the future holds for the local economy!
