It needs to....
I have said before that whilst George is not everyones cup of tea, at least as far as Manchester is concerned the
PR has been stratospheric!
Ok a slight of hand re NorthernPowerhouse and not a crumb of money but that aside at least Manchester stock as a major city has risen dramatically as has private investment, it was GO who for once was tub thumping in China not some twerp from the civil service.
So what now given the fortunes of the airport are linked to the City.
TM on the face of it gives the impression that a Northern Powerhouse might refer to Tring or Watford, but if she is genuine about equality maybe she will grasp the nettle that something has to change re investment. To quote another poster on here"the gravytrain of spend in the SE has to be balanced by proportional and fair investment up here."
One area where we may see that is a brake on a taxpayer subsidy for Heathrow, if rumours are correct it appears we may see a cabinet crammed full of the anti Heathrow brigade!
Just for once it would be good to see some investment in the crumbling infastructure up here rather than the trickle down effect 20 years hence of further multi billion projects in London!
