In the driving seat

Here's a non-elected council officer. with a second job as lead officer of Transport for the South East promoting even more economic growth if only the Government could invest more in infrastructure. I haven't heard the whole speech, though I will be requesting a copy. Shall we have a bet that it doesn't include 'the environment' or 'carbon' or 'climate change' ?

“With the right transport infrastructure in place to support a high-growth future, we’ve identified the South East economy could grow by 50% more than currently forecast.”
