Collaboration has been at the heart of the development of Scotland’s National Transport Strategy. Our Call for Evidence identified the key themes for transport, leading us to work with over 60 transport partners to deliberate on the current challenges and future opportunities for our transport system over the next 20 years. We undertook a comprehensive stakeholder engagement programme, reaching over 6,500 people in rural, island and urban areas, as well as four Citizens’ Panels. Our draft Strategy was published for consultation in summer 2019, resulting in over 1,200 responses to inform the final Strategy, which was published in February 2020.

Kent County Council (KCC) and Eurovia have worked together delivering successful surfacing programmes for close to 10 years.

The ISO44001 certification has provided a framework for collaboration which has enabled extremely high standards of quality and H&S.
