Bayern Munich have distanced themselves from the prospect of signing Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting he doesn't suit their philosophy.
Eight years since George Osborne's 'Northern Powerhouse' speech... and business leaders still fighting for the railway he promised
23.06.2022 - 11:09 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Business leaders battling plans for a surface turnback station at Manchester Piccadilly have slammed a Government continuing to ‘run roughshod’ over the Northern Powerhouse promises made eight years ago.
It was on June 23 2014, that then-Chancellor George Osbone made his 'Northern Powerhouse' speech at the Museum of Science and Industry here in Manchester. He spoke of how, combined, the northern cities of this country could 'take on the world'. He also described at length how the government would enable this. A high speed route between Manchester and Leeds and and the second phase of HS2 came front and centre of the plan.
Eight years later, and the Manchester Evening News is fighting yet another transport project which has been through the Department for Transport and come out worse for wear. This time, it's the plan for the HS2 station at Manchester Piccadilly.
The proposal, say leaders here, will turn swathes of the city centre into a building site, blight land with viaducts and fail to future-proof the capacity, reliability and resilience on the rail network that passengers so desperately need. Manchester City Council’s analysis, meanwhile, shows that the loss of valuable land will cost 14,000 potential jobs, while the overground station will rob the economy of the North of £333m a year up to 2050. Meanwhile, Greater Manchester is expected to pay for an HS2 station at Manchester Airport.
Plans for HS2 on the cheap threaten to turn swathes of Manchester into a building site and botch a once in a lifetime opportunity
And yet the many pleas for the preferred option of an underground through-station, from political and civic leaders, as well as businesses and passengers have, up to the second reading of the bill
