Forward Planning

Forward Planning

We liaise with Government Offices for the regions, regional development agencies (to support such initiatives as EU-funded regeneration schemes), and local authorities.

We aim to:

  • Develop a forward looking strategy for the network, concentrating on a 3 year + horizon.
  • Liaise with DfT and Ministers on network strategy issues.
  • Define the purpose of and the desired outcomes for individual routes on the network taking into account Regional Planning policy; and
  • Provide the Agency focus at a national and regional level liaison with DfT, with Regional Planning Bodies, Regional Development Agencies and others.

In terms of managing roads this means taking a strategic, forward planning approach to the maintenance, operation and improvement of the network, involving regional stakeholders and the public in the decision-making process.
