    This paper argues there needs to be a ‘Northern Brexit Negotiating Committee’ that would be able to talk with “one voice… rather than to have others shape the debate”. On transport, it argues that Brexit is “likely to generate shifts in flows of people and goods” - and therefore that effective responses are likely to involve transport investment including in rail.

    Although this is “not the Great North Plan itself”, this blueprint lays out ideas and ground rules of what the authors think it should include. It suggests the main ‘purposes’ of the plan should be set out as a vision for the north; a set of collaborative strategies; a prospectus for investment; and a programme for action. The paper suggests a variety of work streams, which should then feed into a “prospectus for the North.”
