A complimentary Steer Davies Gleave and Birchan Dyson Bell seminar for Local Transport Authorities

In today’s economic and policy landscape, local authorities wanting to invest in their transport infrastructure will, more than ever before, have to explore different ways of paying for that infrastructure.

Bircham Dyson Bell and Steer Davies Gleave are hosting a seminar for local transport authorities to explore the options for local charging schemes to be used to raise capital and revenue funding to support Local Transport Plan implementation.

More information about this seminar can be found on the Steer Davies Gleave website.
