HS2 Command Paper: November 2015 “The Government continues to support Toton as the location for the HS2 East Midlands Hub.” “Today, the Government is announcing funding (£1.25m) for the development of an HS2 Growth Strategy for the East Midlands Hub. This funding will enable the region…to… clearly identify the opportunities, plans and required support to deliver growth, building on the transformational benefits of HS2.” (NB: no similar announcement for Sheffield or Leeds)

Proposed Revised Governance

Growth Strategy Structure

First Phase Delivery Plan

Final Growth Strategy (Mid 2017)  Articulate a clear narrative for the delivery of HS2 in the East Midlands;  Identify key additional interventions that will add value to the HS2 baseline in terms of land value uplift, productivity, GVA, housing and jobs;  Prioritise those interventions and determine the optimum phasing for delivery;  Set out land use and mobility masterplans that provide a clear spatial context for investment; and  Set out a costed and viable delivery plan which include proposals for funding, risk management and procurement, and a preferred model of local delivery.

Midlands Connect  We have a poor historic record in securing transport spending for the Midlands  We need to get greater traction over national spending decisions - as the north have started to do
