The FHRG is a forum for highways sector leaders to share knowledge and experiences and identify, develop and assess innovations with the potential to transform the sector through the application of academic research frameworks and methods.

Members comprise the leading highways authorities across the country, sharing best practice and participating in ground-breaking research. The work of the FHRG is endorsed through partnership with ADEPT, the leading professional organisation for directors of place in local authorities.

The annual membership fee provides unrestricted access to the research outputs of the FHRG and will also include an independent, annually conducted Value for Money (VfM) Assessment, as well as access to the anonymised VfM benchmark data.

The benchmarking exercise will compare our highways service against other local authorities, helping us to focus on the quick wins to bring about tangible service improvements. There are also many other FHRG resources that can help with service delivery and on deciding how to structure the model in the future.
