IQ exposure National Award is National Recognition for Suffolk Suffolk Chamber Of Commerce celebrates its achievements at the annual Chamber Awards The leaders of Suffolk Chamber of Commerce have said that the recent award they collected at a national ceremony in London is ‘national recognition for everyone in Suffolk.’ The Chamber picked up the “Most Effective Campaigning” Award at the British Chambers of Commerce’s annual Chamber Awards, which were announced in a ceremony at the Tower of London. Suffolk Chamber led the campaign against the plan to use tolls to help fund key improvements to the A14 around Huntingdon; these tolls were widely viewed as imposing an unfair and damaging burden on the economy of Suffolk. A free-flowing A14 is of fundamental importance to the economic infrastructure and future success of Suffolk, a county that is home to 730,000 people, which delivers 305,000 jobs, and which has an economy worth £12.6 billion every year. “It was a great honour for the Chamber to collect this award on behalf of partners and colleagues who supported the Chamber-led No Toll Tax on Suffolk campaign,’’ said John Dugmore, the Chief Executive of Suffolk Chamber of Commerce. “No Toll Tax on Suffolk was a powerful campaign that was underpinned by the drive and support from a host of partners – our MPs, Local Authorities, Local Enterprise Partnership, business groups and most importantly the L-R John Dugmore, Chief Executive, Suffolk Chamber/ Sarah Howard, President Suffolk Chamber/ Danny Longbottom, BT Business & Stephen Britt, Chairman, Suffolk Chamber Transport & Infrastructure Board. business community, from across our great county. That is what made the difference, and that is why we’re delighted to be awarded such a great national prize.” The No Toll Tax on Suffolk campaign was raised at local, regional and national level, including local MP Therese Coffey meeting with the Prime Minister; representatives of the group meeting with the Secretary of State for Transport; and the Suffolk Chamber Chief Executive directly asking George Osborne to scrap the plans. “There is no doubt the Government’s plans to toll the A14 would have been a direct tax on business in our county,” said Stephen Britt, the Chairman of the Suffolk Chamber Transport and Infrastructure Board, who was also at the Awards in London. “That is why the campaign gained so much support. There was, and is, no national strategy for tolling roads, and penalising drivers to come in and out of a county that is a positive contributor to the UK plc made no sense at all.” A study commissioned from Ernst and Young by Suffolk County Council in collaboration with Suffolk Chamber as part of the campaign, concluded that “as a trade and distribution hub with a growing population, Suffolk depends on the quality and free flow of physical transport infrastructure” and “the end of congestion on the A14 could generate c£362 million in annual GVA and create up to 7,100 jobs in Suffolk”. Because of ‘No Toll Tax on Suffolk’ the potential for these figures from the Ernst and Young report can be achieved following the upgrade to the A14. issue 12 | page 29
