Government must tackle 'archaic' infrastructure

March 13 2025

The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has called for the government to 'tackle the problems of the UK's worn out infrastructure' in order to boost economic growth.

The business group has outlined a range of recommendations in a new report, including improving the road and rail capacity; delivering regional transport projects and grid connectivity; and listening to business on its national and regional infrastructure needs.

In addition, the BCC stated that the Infrastructure and Planning Bill, which is expected to be put before Parliament in due course, must have the interests of business at its heart.

The report revealed that 66% of business leaders believe their views aren't considered when it comes to local infrastructure decisions.

Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the BCC, said: 'If the government's plans to power economic growth through a new era of construction are to be realised, then these are the issues that must be fixed.

'It has already taken some positive steps in this direction. The recommendations in this report set out what needs to happen next. We must rebalance our approach to infrastructure and give businesses the confidence they need to align their investment plans.'
