The Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG) provides Members with a unique platform to engage with councils, the DfT and the wider highways community. By joining LCRIG, you will connect with a group of like-minded councils, organisations and individuals, all of whom are driving change through innovation and technological advances across the local roads network.
The new event, which will take place from 6-7 July at Newark Showground, has been established to ‘make the case for innovation’ and will bring together local authorities, central government, the supply chain, associations and academia.
A report by the Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG) shows that there is no shortage of enthusiasm when it comes to delivering innovation in highways, though differing approaches between authorities highlight the challenges around implementing it.
