POLICY
REPRESENTING OUR MEMBERS AT THE HEART OF GOVERNMENT.
POLICY
We draw on our members’ expertise and knowledge to respond to consultations and positively contribute to the political debate.
Our practical approach means we’re ideal partners for government, working at the heart of policy-making for the benefit of infrastructure. On behalf of our members, we champion the built environment at every level – from Westminster to the metro-mayors and everyone in between.
Our groups provide a forum for members to share their views and experiences and influence our thinking. The APPG on Building Communities promotes the social value that infrastructure delivers to our communities and how this contributes to the success of our economy.
We produce reports to share our members’ thought-leadership, consultation responses to inform government policy and member-only briefings on political and economic matters of note.
