Plans to create 'Silicon Valley' between Oxford and Cambridge unveiled
Proposals to link up Oxford and Cambridge will add up to 拢78bn to the UK economy by 2035, the chancellor has claimed.
Rachel Reeves said connecting the university cities could create 'Europe's Silicon Valley during a speech in Oxfordshire.
The government wants thousands of homes and better transport links to be developed in the area between the cities.
The chancellor also supported the construction of Abingdon Reservoir, though the 4.5 sq-mile (7sq km) project continues to be met with strong local opposition.
