In this episode, Beverley Firth (planning lawyer at Mills & Reeve) sits down with and Paul Bristow (mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority) to discuss his vision for growth in the region.

Paul talks us through his ambitions for the region’s future. He outlines his new growth plan, the infrastructure and political alignment and collaboration needed to deliver it (from both government and the private sector alike), as well as why he thinks a Mayoral Development Corporation would be a useful delivery vehicle.

This episode is a must listen for anyone interested in achieving inclusive and sustainable growth beyond the headline number of houses, and particularly those invested in the ambition and success of one England’s most vibrant regions.
