Highways, footways, verges, bridges, tunnels, culverts, trees and drainage. They all fall under your remit. So you can see why this is such a high profile role that affects everybody in the county. You’ll also be able to see something else. Like how best to shape the highways infrastructure whilst taking into account a range of factors, such as the fact that two-thirds of the county is a designated area of natural outstanding beauty. It’ll also be up to you lead and inspire your 100-strong team and really embed a progressive, forward-thinking culture across our newly restructured department.
