The new director of the Western Gateway says its priorities for 2023 include launching its vision for rail until 2050 and renewable energy supply.
The cross-border organisation is made up of local authorities and local enterprise partnerships in the West of England and South Wales, and is designed to play a leading role in boosting the region’s economic fortunes.
As it enters its second year of operation its strategic priorities for the year have been laid out by new director John Wilkinson. They include rail and energy supply, potentially once again trying to harness renewable energy from the Severn Estuary.
