This document outlines a coordinated approach to enhance the role of ports, promote freight growth, and improve logistics facilities. Key initiatives include reviewing infrastructure, supporting lobbying efforts, identifying lorry parking sites, and developing port-centric projects. Collaborative work with local councils will support land identification for growth and economic development strategies, including job opportunities and skills development in the logistics sector. The aim is to ensure a competitive future for ports, particularly focusing on Felixstowe and the A14 corridor.
