The Government has announced a ‘spatial framework’ plan aimed at transforming the economic and cultural potential of the area stretching between Oxford and Cambridge.
Housing minister Christopher Pincher said that the plan will help to create thousands of jobs, drive investment, protect and enhance the environment, and provide the infrastructure necessary to support growth across the Oxford-Cambridge Arc.
‘We want to take this region to the next phase of its renaissance by unlocking its full potential and our plans will drive investment where it is needed and ensure, as growth happens, we create well-designed, inclusive and vibrant places and communities,’ he said.
