.........and as the huge added benefit of the HS2, which could satisfy it's critics and supporters alike, is the employment this will give to many thousands within the construction industry and outside it.
The suppliers of the materials, the manufacturers of equipment, providers of labour, and all the services local to the construction will be able to guarantee existing jobs, and provide much additional employment. As the line proceeds in it's construction, it is not only the direct and indirect contractors that will employ thousands, but the many businesses, such as providers of transport, catering, hotel accommodation, pubs and clubs, etc, that can benefit as well. In the longer term the development of businesses and house building should add to the overall benefit.
Regardless of the debating issues for and against, this project is just what this country needs to revitalise our economy. I am nervous about the constant cutting policy of the Coalition, so a national infrasture project that aims to spend to create new jobs and hope for the many who are going through very rough times surely must be applauded.
The next national project, before it is too late, must be a new international airport to continue the momentum.
