Suffolk Chamber Calls for Urgent Infrastructure Investment Following Port of Felixstowe Sale

"Suffolk Chamber understands that the sale of Port of Felixstowe is part of a wider international deal involving 45 ports in total. The industry insiders that we’ve spoken to suggest that the impact on the Port in terms of volumes will be neutral to positive, meaning that the business case for upgrading the Ely/Haughley rail junctions and the strategic roads network, including the A14, are even more compelling and valid as ever."

"We can think of no better confidence boost for businesses from the Government that, in response to the new ownership arrangements, investment in the Ely and Haughley rail junctions is given the go-ahead in the Spending Review and much-need improvements to the A14, especially at the Copdock Interchange and along the Orwell Bridge, are brought forward as a matter of national urgency by National Highways."
