Infrastructure Recovery Cell Emerging themes include: A positive response - with continued or adapted services and strong relationships / joint working. A high level of uncertainty - with response and recovery running concurrently, peak uncertainty across markets, finance, demand, availability of materials, etc, and uncertain longer-term implications. Taking action - considering: i) What can be progressed quickly?; ii) What further actions are needed?; and iii) What action do we need from Government? Harnessing the opportunities continued investment / access to funding (Active travel, 'shovel-ready' projects), embedding a green recovery and 'building back better', adapting to longer-term behavioural change (Travel, Digital, Recycling), and changes in housing and business interest / demand from London.
