The idea
Remove the masses of legislation required to work on roads controlled by the highways agency. There are over 17 sector schemes which require certification for companies carrying out work on roads. Each certification costs the operator over £500 to be certified by an accredited certification body and each scheme costs the certification body approx £3,000 to be accredited by UKAS. It is absolute madness.
Why is it important?
Bureaucrazy gone mad !
