Logical fallacies and ghosts of goals not scored! Last year summer, myself and my old school mates planned a meet-up. It never happened. So this year, we tried again. Everyone agreed we needed to go somewhere. The destination looked amazing in the brochures. It was summer, work was a bit slow, so no issues about that. But then it reality hit: - Half the group can’t agree on dates - The budget kept changing - Someone always found a reason why “now isn’t the right time” - By the time we actually booked, the prices had doubled And so, summer went, and it never happened. Sound familiar? After diving deep into the UK’s infrastructure pipeline for 2025, I’m seeing the same pattern everywhere. We have £600bn worth of projects that look fantastic on paper. The need is undeniable. The benefits are clear. Yet somehow we’re stuck in an endless cycle of planning, re-planning, and “further consultation required.” Meanwhile, our bridges are aging, our broadband is patchy, and that pothole outside your house is now big enough to have its own postcode. The truth? Every day we delay is costing us more than just money - it’s costing productivity, opportunities, and frankly, our patience. I leave you with one question, what infrastructure problem affects you most and is quietly holding you or your business back?” *(Full analysis of what’s actually happening with UK infrastructure delivery in my latest report - https://mycitybiz.co.uk/research/540-billion-infrastructure-opportunity/
