Authority plans to take over highways maintenance

摘要

Nottinghamshire CC is in talks to completely take over the firm responsible for its highways maintenance. The council already owns 49% of the arm's-length civil engineering company, Via East Midlands, with the rest owned by Corserv - a company owned by Cornwall Council. Via currently shares back office services, including finance, human resources, legal and procurement, with Corserv. In addition to carrying out road maintenance, highways and civil engineering services for Nottinghamshire, Via offers services to other private and public sector organisations in the region.
