The UK must attract inward investment to renew our manufacturing capacity and reduce our future reliance on imported construction products and materials. This is essential if we are to create the wealth to secure long term sustainable growth.Through the creation of 30 year strategic local growth plans, the vision for any specific regions will be better understood.
