LCRIG’S MISSION
Together, our members’ aim is to develop and promote a fresh approach to highway asset management.
This includes establishing new, standard methodologies to understand the true state of the infrastructure of highways and determine the correct level of investment for today and the future. As a result, we will secure stakeholder involvement and funding that will allow us to address the decline of our highways, remove maintenance backlog and create a resilient network.
OUR CORE OBJECTIVES
- To facilitate the sharing of best practice between members of LCRIG.
- To develop and advocate the use of a standard set of methods and models to support best practice in the management of highway assets.
- To ensure local authorities have access to cutting-edge expertise and knowledge from the ‘research and development’ and ‘academic’ sectors, helping them develop highway asset management plans without fear of breaching standards.
- To help local authorities develop asset management strategies and plans which are focused on key objectives, resulting in a more effective and efficient use of limited resources.
- To review and influence the writing of regulation, making it easier for local authorities to understand and comply with requirements.
- To identify capability gaps so local authorities have a better understanding why they are not achieving their goals and what needs to change.
- To review state-of-the-art technology which could help LCRIG members improve the way they manage their highway assets.
- To present findings from LCRIG to highway asset management steering groups across the UK, highlighting the benefits of our way of working.
