efficiency challenge
June 2015

Context
• We all want roads that are fit for the future
• We have less money - yet our public expects better roads
• We need ever more efficient ways to maintain the network
• How do we balance more demand with less resources?
• Important we all continue to share experiences, connect to networks and best practice
• Highways is in the spotlight
• With longer-term funding and investment, there will be
greater expectations and demands on how money is
spent.
• The growing political and public expectation for:
– Transparency
– Accountability and
– Efficiencies
Gearing up for the changes ahead: Greater expectations?
How ready are you for the change?
Can answer yes to all of these questions?
✓
Is your local highway authority ready for the revised method for funding allocation ahead?
Do you have a robust asset management plan and is it embedded?
Are you confident that your road network will be well-managed and maintained?
Is public and business confidence and economic growth improving in your area?
Do you have the skills and resources in place, to change?
Are you collaborating and working with others?
Do you have the long-term plans in place?
Can you clearly evidence good practice, efficient delivery and improvements in road condition?

Why Connect & Share?• Many existing networks (44 groups identified)
– meeting, talking, learning, sharing – identifying good practice & innovation
• Not shared across sector -relatively little documented • Not everyone is involved• HMEP Board is keen to promote existing good practice
Connect & Share Events• South West – Exeter 13/11/14• North East – Durham 20/11/14• South East – Kingston 4/12/14• West Midlands – Worcester 16/12/14• East – Cambridge 17/12/14• Yorkshire & Humberside - 19/1/15• North West – Manchester 21/1/15• London – 17/5/15• East Midlands – today
Connect and Share events highlighted:
• The wealth of experience, expertise and knowledge • A continued appetite to share and learn;• How sharing practices can help to demonstrate real
benefits;• Support is needed: An initial ‘push’ to create the ‘pull’• The importance of sharing: given future funding
context.• Maintaining momentum within the sector is important
Why have a Connect and Share Panel?
Representatives from across the highways sector (clients, providers and partners)
Help to define how:• Practices (including those where key lessons
can be learned) can continue to be shared;• Make greater connections;• Offers of support and help can be made.
Steve Kent to Chair Connect and Share Panel
“I firmly believe that the knowledge and skills to tackle the efficiency agenda already exists amongst our local authorities, principle providers and the wider supply chain. What challenges us most is the dispersed and fragmented nature of the highway maintenance sector.
Connect & Share provides us with a great opportunity to connect up the many threads of good practice and innovation and share them across the sector, simply and efficiently. I look forward to helping the sector meet this challenge.”
Steve Kent, HMEP Board Member; HMEP Advocate; Chair of the Connect and Share Panel
