Unlock Innovation in Highways: Access the 2025 LCRIG Innovation Report

Discover the most comprehensive innovation insights in the UK highways and transport sector.

The 2025 LCRIG Innovation Report reveals where, how and why innovation is happening. And what’s holding it back.

Drawing on responses from LCRIG’s substantial membership base, this report delivers powerful, evidence-based insight into the real barriers, behaviours and breakthroughs shaping the future of our sector.

Who Should Read This Report:

  • Local Authorities seeking to make smarter, more strategic innovation decisions.
  • Suppliers looking to understand local authority pain points and align solutions with real-world needs.
  • Policy Makers committed to building a smarter, more sustainable highways and transport system.

Why It Matters:

The report exposes the innovation paradox: local authorities want to innovate but are held back by the very systems meant to enable innovation. Meanwhile, suppliers are ready to deliver but lack the access, clarity and procurement mechanisms to scale solutions.

The LCRIG Innovation Report offers not just insight but a roadmap for change, featuring practical recommendations and LCRIG’s commitment to driving sector-wide progress.

Get the full report packed with actionable insight, honest reflection and bold recommendations.
