GEML Taskforce leaders met with local businesses in Ipswich on October 23 to update on progress made. The meeting marked the two year anniversary of Chancellor George Osborne visiting Anglia to launch the Taskforce.

Mark Pendlington, chairman of New Anglia LEP and co-chairman of the GEML Taskforce said: "We continue to push hard and back Network Rail and the Department for Transport to deliver on their promises. We will also continue to support the bidders with their proposals and make sure they know the very high expectations that we all hold. Our ambition remains as high as ever as we all work together to achieve our goals."
