For example, the Northern Gateway Development Zone in Cheshire and Staffordshire have plans to help create 120,000 new jobs by 2040. They are currently preparing an HS2 Growth Strategy on how HS2 will contribute to supporting this number of new jobs in the area.</p><p> </p><p>High Speed 2 Limited also estimate that around 25,000 private sector employment opportunities are expected to be generated in the process of building the HS2 railway, with a further 3,000 jobs to operate it once finished.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 24/11/2016 11:50:19 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
