TONIGHT 🚀 Chapter meet-up at the Benjamin Huntsman ⏰ 7pm Social + campaign planning for the year ahead & talking all things growth in Sheffield. See you there 👋

Last week our chapter spent the afternoon picking litter, reporting fly-tipping and cleaning graffiti. Great news: the biggest rubbish piles have now been removed by the council and the graffiti hasn’t come back. Still lots to do, but a solid start! 🚀

The BIGGEST change to nuclear regulation in the history of this country. Government was set to bottle it. YOU pushed for it, you tweeted, you shared videos, you signed letters and you didn't let up. Govt gave in. They accepted these RADICAL CHANGES. Now we hold them to it.

The Government should ignore the blockers and accept ALL recommendations without caveats. Energy costs are crippling UK growth and accepting these recommendations would be a clear indication that the government is serious about getting to grips with the problem.

Over 50 leading CEOs, entrepreneurs and experts are demanding the Government ACCEPT ALL the Nuclear Review recommendations. As the Budget approaches, this is how the PM and Chancellor can cut the cost of living and save British industry. Sign and share our letter 👇

Sheffield is the only major city without rail electrification! This has been delayed for far too long already

Britain needs nuclear power. Our nuclear projects are the most expensive in the world and among the slowest. Regulators and industry are paralysed by risk aversion. This can change. For Britain to prosper, it must. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister appointed me to lead a Taskforce to set out a path to getting affordable, fast nuclear power Britain. Our final report today sets out 47 recommendations, among them: - Creating a one-stop shop for nuclear approvals, to end the regulatory merry-go-round that delays projects at the moment. - Simplifying environmental rules to avoid extreme outcomes like Hinkley Point C spending £700m on systems to protect one salmon every ten years, while enhancing nuclear's impact on nature. - Limiting the ability of spurious legal challenges to delay nuclear projects, which adds huge cost and delay throughout the supply chain. - Approving fleets of reactors, so that Britain’s nuclear industry can benefit from certainty and economies of scale. - Directing regulators to factor in cost to their behaviour, and changing their culture to allow building cheaply, quickly and safely. - Changing the culture of the nuclear industry to end gold-plating and focus on efficient, safe delivery. If the government adopts our report in full, it will send a signal to investors that it is serious about pro-growth reform and taking on vested interests for the public good. A thriving British nuclear industry producing abundant, affordable energy would be good for jobs, good for manufacturing, good for the climate, and good for the cost of living. And it could enable Britain to become an AI and technology superpower. Britain can be a world leader in this new Industrial Revolution, but only if it has the energy to power it. Our report is bold, but balanced. Our recommendations, taken together and properly implemented, will forge a clear path for stronger economic growth through improved productivity and innovation. This is a prize worth fighting for. gov.uk/government/pub…
