North West Property Lawyer of the Year - Which Lawyer? 2013
“In the case of Liverpool, it performs well in terms of employment growth but it was a mixed picture in terms of environmental sustainability. It’s CO2 per person figure was the lowest in the North but it was behind on terms of share of the population using zero emission transport and waste. “Earlier this year, the UK has announced its ambition to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the first major economy to do so. Liverpool has made great progress in this area and with the right focus and support; it can continue to lead the way in the North of England.”
“Manchester performs well in this study when it comes to employment growth in the future, but it was a mixed picture in terms of environmental sustainability. “Earlier this year, the UK announced its ambition to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the first major economy to do so. It’s important that business recognise not only the important role they have to play, but also the opportunities that exist, particularly with zero carbon being one of the four sectors included in Manchester’s local Industrial Strategy.”
“This report paints a mixed picture for Manchester but certainly highlights the attractiveness of the city to investors. Brexit has and will continue to take up a lot of Government time, but it is vital that it refocuses its attention on rebalancing the UK economy and building on the he potential within the Northern Powerhouse.”
