“The North of England has waited for far too long for a government that matches warm words with concerted ambition. This pipeline shows the huge opportunity across the North – from thriving cities to world-leading industries that can bring in investment and support the jobs of the future.

“Stronger growth in the North means stronger growth for the country. That is why we are working with mayors and local leaders to unlock investment, create jobs and put more power into the hands of local communities.”

“The Liverpool City Region is all-in on growth – and we’re ready to deliver it. We’ve got the talent, the opportunity and the ambition to build an economy that’s greener, fairer and works for everyone.

“Together with partners across The Great North, we’re telling investors this is a place of real scale and opportunity. From Liverpool Central and the Knowledge Quarter to our waterfront, we’ve got projects that will create jobs, new homes and drive innovation.

“Give us the powers and investment, and we’ll turn potential into progress for every community.”

“We launched The Great North with a simple ambition: that by working together, the North of England could become greater than the sum of its parts. Today we are turning that ambition into action – taking steps to unlock prosperity across the North with billions of investment and the potential to create thousands of high-skilled, well-paid jobs for our communities.

“We are presenting investors with a pipeline of opportunities that is internationally significant in scale, rooted in our proud industrial identity of making things and taking them across the world. We are putting our money where our mouth is, to unlock the full potential of the North which has been untapped for too long.”
