The Reformer
Changing the system from inside it, principle turned into change.
Heidi Alexander is the Transport Secretary focused on reforming the railways in the UK. This interview reveals her commitment to addressing systemic issues and her ambition to create a more efficient and user-friendly transport system.
“I can guarantee my hon. Friend that there will be meaningful consultation with local communities about airspace changes—this Bill does not change the processes around that.”
“We want to move swiftly on these issues, and the provisions in the Bill are designed to do just that. I recognise that Glasgow airport is an important economic hub for my hon. Friend’s constituency, and I look forward to discussing with her what more we can do to support it.”
“We have sought to prioritise work on airspace changes in the London region, given the benefits that it could bring to London and the south-east. I am aware that there has been agreement over the summer to resume work on airspace modernisation in Scotland, which will be important to my hon. Friend’s constituents.”
“Taken together, these measures will ensure that all passengers have meaningful, enforceable rights that help them to travel with ease and confidence. The Bill will also help to unlock the full potential of our aviation infrastructure, driving economic growth across the country.”
