Sheffield Council leader 'disappointed' over rail news

Following the latest report on HS2 and HS3, Sheffield City Council Leader Julie Dore has expressed her disappointment, claiming the project appears to be centred around speed and not economic growth.

“I said before the report was launched that HS2 was about jobs, growth and return on investment. Whilst it’s welcome that the government are making the right noises about HS2, whether or not it makes the lasting difference in transforming our economy will depend upon the right decisions being taken now."

"For Sheffield, having a city centre station is fundamental to the future of our economy. A city centre station create 6,500 more jobs than a parkway station by allowing Sheffield city centre to connect with not only London but our other leading cities."
