Stoke-on-Trent – the HS2 Renaissance Ready City
• HS2 ready - the third fastest growing city economy in the UK, at the heart of the national transport network
• A city with energy and drive - developing the UK’s largest deep geothermal district heating system – powering up business and homes alike
• A city ready to grow – absorbing a town the size of Milton Keynes on shovel ready brownfield development land
• Business backs the Stoke Route – the LEP and the Chamber of Commerce
• A true University City - Keele and Staffordshire Universities back the bid
• A city fast becoming a world centre of advanced materials technology
HS2 THE STOKE ROUTE:THE SMART WAY TO THE NORTH
Better, cheaper, faster, greener
• Deletes 27kms of high impact railway through rural greenfields
• Uses existing urban brownfield rail corridors • Maximises economic growth through city
brownfield development • Urban railway will be quieter than the
existing line • Avoids sprawl in rural Staffordshire and
South Cheshire• Dramatically reduces need for deep cuttings• Minimises property impacts• Maximises public health benefits by
spreading prosperity
The Greener way to connect cities
The Stoke Route is all about connecting cities so reduces the impact of HS2 on open countryside and greenbelt
