Sustainable development takes centre stage at the Highways Agency

摘要

The Highways Agency, which is responsible for motorways and strategic A-roads in England, is working to balance its responsibility to develop and operate the strategic road network effectively, with its responsibilities to protect the environment and support economic growth. In order to achieve this, the Highways Agency recently published its Sustainable Development Plan that highlights the important role sustainability plays in helping to move society towards a low carbon future. The purpose of the Plan is to support the Highways Agency Strategic Plan and to set out the direction the Agency intends to take to integrate sustainable development into its core processes.
