Holding National Highways to account

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) in its annual assessment of National Highways, released today, says the company has delivered well against its financial and performance targets for 2022-23, but urges continued focus on efficiency and managing inflationary pressures on its enhancements in the coming year.

Achieving real efficiency is one of the six outcomes National Highways (formerly Highways England) is required to deliver in the second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2), set by government in March 2020.

The official Office of Rail and Road podcast brings together a series of conversations to discuss issues impacting all aspects of Britain's railways and England's road network.

Greater transparency and improved data will help drive better outcomes for road users.
