The competition we are in with countries across the world means that we must make sure our infrastructure is as good, or even better, than anywhere else.
A company in Street is competing against rivals in Shanghai and Bangalore so it is essential that our businesses have access to high-capacity broadband.
Our roads, rail and air connections are equally important so I will be watching the renegotiation of the First Great Western rail franchise closely. I believe the South West as a region is disadvantaged by the absence of a westwards rail link from London Heathrow.
