At Conservative Conference Today:




  • Funding for projects in our second Road Investment Strategy. From our £25 billion Road Investment Strategy, this sets out our plans to invest in our strategic road network, addressing congestion, improving millions of journeys and making it easier for people to get from A to B.


  • £220 million to transform bus services across the country. This will include the creation of Britain’s first ever all-electric bus town, expansion of our fleet of low emission busses and a new low-fare high-frequency ‘superbus’ network – allowing passengers more choice and lower prices.


  • £5 billion to support roll-out of full-fibre, 5G and other gigabit capable network. This will help roll out 5G and other gigabit capable networks to the hardest to reach 20 per cent of the country – ensuring the whole country benefits from 21st century connectivity – supporting businesses and families across the UK.






  • We will lay out a bold new approach to create a simpler, faster and more responsive planning process in the Accelerated Planning Green Paper. Reforming the planning system and simplifying the process whilst making sure local residents still have their say over buildings in their community.


  • Families wishing to expand their home will find a more user-friendly approach and a more simple process. We are also making it easier and faster to redevelop disuses commercial buildings and replace them with houses – creating more attractive high streets.






  • Youth unemployment has almost halved since 2010, but there is still more to do. That’s why we will dedicate extra time and resources to young people facing the biggest hurdles to getting a job, including care-leavers and young offenders.


  • We are also investing in cutting-edge technology to help recommend the best jobs and skills training to job seekers and people looking to find better, higher-paid jobs – so that people have every chance to get not just any job, but find their dream job.
