Join Nadine Buddoo and Rob Horgan from New Civil Engineer as they discuss the month's top stories, including the tighter Covid restrictions and their impact on the industry, and all things Hammersmith Bridge. The pair also talk about the role of independent regulators, leading nicely into this month's guest.
This month the podcast features Deputy Director, Engineering and Asset Management at Office of Rail and Road, Steve Fletcher. Steve tells us all about the ORR and its role in regulation, describing its responsibilities and the relationships it keeps, in particular with Network Rail.
As an independent regulator, ORR operate within the framework set by UK and EU legislation and are accountable through Parliament and the courts. They are an independent statutory body, with powers vested by Parliament in their governing board. Find out more at www.orr.gov.uk.
