I sat down with Ashley Prior to explore his journey through local government of his 40+ year career. We explored how local government relating to highways has changed on a micro and macro level. The strengths of local government highways departments. His experience of leadership, training of staff and the utilisation of consultancies. Three key take away points: 1) Highway processes and structures need to be simplified 2) Consultancy plans need to manage, but not be crippled by risk. 3) Investing into the training of the highways workers of tomorrow, is vital for highways functions to deliver now and in the future.
