Trans-Midlands Corridor trade route planned

Harborough District Council has agreed to collaborate with other local
authorities to develop a plan for a key trade route in the Midlands.

It’s committed to work with Midlands Connect to create an Economic
Development Strategy for the so-called ‘Trans-Midlands Corridor’.

This 250 km stretch through the Harborough District – from Tewkesbury in
Gloucestershire to Grimsby in North Lincolnshire – has been identified
as a key area for business output and jobs.

The strategy aims to ensure that future growth along it is sustainable
and appropriate – and that cash is made available to support any
required infrastructure.
