In June 2026, the Department for Transport (DfT) published updated requirements and new guidance for local authorities completing the 2026-2027 local roads maintenance transparency report, including reporting requirements for preventative maintenance spend.
Join us for this Roadtechs webinar which will feature a first-hand account from North Yorkshire Council, which is currently Amber-rated and working to strengthen its spend and best-practice position. It also covers how asphalt rejuvenation fits into a preventative maintenance strategy, and how to procure it quickly and compliantly under the Procurement Act 2023.
About the Webinar
Date: Thursday, 24th September
Time: 11:00am
Location: Teams Webinars
The webinar will also feature North Yorkshire Council’s account of its asset management decision-making. The council is not presenting a final result, rather its experience reflects the journey many local authorities are currently undertaking. The webinar also shares practical examples of procurement under the Procurement Act 2023 that authorities can consider as they develop their own maintenance programmes.
This webinar is not just a supplier talking about their product; it’s an example of collaborative best practice to share with other similar local authorities in England.
