This year’s Strictly Highways demonstrated the importance of bringing together local authorities, central government, the supply chain, associations and academia.
The event received an overwhelmingly positive response from those that attended, with some hailing it as ‘the best conference of the year’.
The event took place at the Winter Gardens from 05 – 06 October and the theme for the event was ‘making the case for local roads’.
