Universal has named its planned Bedfordshire resort Universal United Kingdom Resort and the UK government has pledged £1.3bn for local transport and infrastructure as the park aims for millions of visitors and thousands of jobs by 2031. This gives LEGO a chance to talk about the importance of play-led tourism, local skills and creative jobs in the UK.
