Rishi Sunak said he would reinvest ‘every single penny’ of the £36 billion in hundreds of transport projects in the north and Midlands.
Rishi Sunak axed the HS2 project from Birmingham to Manchester and promised to use the £36 billion of savings to fund hundreds of other transport schemes.
“I am ending this long-running saga. I am cancelling the rest of the HS2 project and in its place, we will reinvest every single penny, £36 billion, in hundreds of new transport projects in the North and the Midlands, across the country. Mr Sunak confirmed the scheme will run to Euston in central London, rather than terminating at Old Oak Common in the capital’s western suburbs, but promised to get a grip on the costs of the project.“The management of HS2 will no longer be responsible for the Euston site, “Mr Sunak said.“There must be some accountability for the mistakes made, for the mismanagement of this project.
Mr Sunak – who presented himself as a politician who would take long-term decisions to fundamentally change the country – also set out a plan to effectively ban smoking.
