WMHI Code of Practice – Consultation Process

  • Wednesday May 20, 2026

UK Roads Leadership Group (UKRLG) invites stakeholders across the highways sector to participate in the consultation on the update to the Well-Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code of Practice.

This consultation provides an opportunity to review the draft update and provide feedback to inform the final version of the Code.

UKRLG welcome IHE members to take part and provide feedback on the draft – primarily this may be on Part A: Overarching Principles, and Part B: Highways, but the full document will be open to all.

The ask is for individual feedback rather than on behalf of organisations or authorities, but if there is any collective feedback that can also be raised.

Through the weblink below, a copy of the draft can be accessed, alongside the feedback form to provide responses.

UKRLG – UK Roads Leadership Group

The consultation will be live until 7th June 2026.
