Disbelief at plan to fix #London #potholes as part of #NetworkNorth project
£235m funding for capital’s #roads is possible only because of investment that comes from scrapping northern leg of #HS2

Quite apart from concerns about the costing & planning for #RishiSunak's #NetworkNorth rail proposals (intended to replace aspects of #HS2), for those of us living in #Lancaster & the surrounding areas, once again the large urban area of Lancaster-Morecambe is right in the middle of a blank area....
There's a strange blindness about Lancaster; we have a top 10 University, a major new visitor economy development (Eden North) & a large population yet somehow are always missing from plans!

Safe to say Ian Dunt is not impressed with Sunak's latest 'clever wheeze' which doubtless came out of the mind of a chinless 21 year old SPAD:
"The prime minister's Network North document might genuinely be in the top ten most half-arsed embarrassing policy documents we've seen from a British government in our lifetime. That’s a highly competitive market to muscle your way into and yet somehow by God he's done it."

The rail announcements in #NetworkNorth come in three categories.
1. Projects that were already built a decade ago.
2. Projects that have been promised and cancelled for over a decade.
3. Projects that were cancelled the day after they were announced.

CW: UKPol transport Manchester HS2
To go with this, apparently Nottingham’s tram network is also getting an extension to somewhere it already goes and has since 2015… clear that zero thought has gone into this despite Sunak’s claims… delivering difficult decisions for the long ago…
It’s also pointed out that these Network North projects are across the country and not actually linked… redefining both Network and North… thought the Tories didn’t like that?

#CPC23 I just saw Clive Myrie ask Faisal Islam a good question:
“Does Sunak’s #networkNorth vision add up?”
…and then Faisal avoid answering the question (while sounding like he was somewhat acting as a government spokesperson).
It deserves an answer and it’s the kind of question #BBCnews *should* be on top of.
Just how far could £34bn divvied up between “100s of road and rail projects” go?
(Note the ordering of “road and rail”, not “rail and road”)

CW: UKPol transport Manchester HS2
ahhhh, so nice to see well thought through policies to spend the money "freed up" from cancelling HS2 from Rishi Sunak such as "Nearly £4 billion to improve connectivity, which could pay for schemes such as the extension of the Manchester Metrolink to ... Manchester Airport ..."
Who's going to tell him it already goes there..?
Opened in November 2014 so he's only eight years and eleven months out of date...
