Whether it’s record high summer temperatures, winter frost or extreme rainfall, local highways authorities are having to deal with the increasingly varied demands of climate change.
Response services are essential for local residents and businesses but changeable and unpredictable weather conditions, increasing litigation from the public and keeping pace with new innovation and technical developments can all add to the challenges facing the Highways Service.
All these issues and more will be discussed and debated with ample opportunity for delegates to network and learn and share ideas and information from each other.
Alongside a trade exhibition this event is a timely and affordable learning seminar for all involved in the winter maintenance and extreme weather response services.
