In March EEH managing director Naomi Green gave evidence to the Transport Committee's inquiry into strategic road investment. Yesterday we welcomed publication of the committee's report.
Its recommendations include a formalised engagement role for sub-national transport bodies such as EEH with National Highways.
As Naomi told the committee, a formal role for STBs would mean that proposed schemes could be designed and finessed to better meet regional needs and account for local knowledge, which could improve proposals.
