Further Road Cuts
A Briefing company that organises conferences to explain government policy has invited Local Authorities to a conference to discuss the following;
Local Roads Maintenance
Understanding New Funding Arrangements
Engaging with the panel of experts, key issues to be addressed include:
- Role of Action for Roads: impacts on Local Authorities
- Local Highways Maintenance Funding: understanding Government plans for spending
- Changes yet to come: preparing for further efficiencies
- Impacts of recent guidance on LA asset management & improvement works
- Working in partnership with the Highways Agency: now and in the future
- Sharing expertise: how can Local Authorities communicate best practice to save money?
- Transport Infrastructure Management: implications of the new accounting Code of Practice
- Balancing public expectations of road maintenance with financial limitations
- Learning from other LAs: developing an effective Highways Strategy
- Collaborative working: insight from existing regional partnerships
- Engaging productively with Highways Maintenance Efficiency Programme
The point to note is item three, this translates as MORE CUTS.
