Freeport East welcomes confirmation in the Autumn 2024 Budget of ongoing Government support for the #UKFreeports programme and endorsement of the progress we have made to date. This will ensure continued interest and support from domestic and international investors in the opportunities that Freeport East and the wider East of England area provide. The commitment to fully align freeports with the Government’s #IndustrialStrategy will ensure we can maximise our potential in attracting new investment around our international gateways, supporting local growth and expanding those sectors in which Freeport East and our local area demonstrate key strengths, including #cleanenergy, #digitalinnovation and #trade. We will continue to engage with the full range of local partners and Government to unlock critical new investment in our energy grid, transport networks and port infrastructure to enable our region to deliver growth for local communities and the UK as a whole.

With thousands of new jobs coming to the Freeport East development site at Gateway 14, Stowmarket and a commitment to connect the site to the rail station, there's a great opportunity to support new employment with sustainable travel options. It also aligns with our #GreenFreightCorridor with East Midlands Freeport which looks to increase modal shift and greener travel options along the route from #Felixstowe to the Midlands, via #Ipswich and #Cambridge.
