The UK’s energy sector and local transport networks have fared the worst in the latest State of the Nation report released today by ICE.
State of the Nation: Infrastructure 2010 found the UK’s infrastructure to be in poor condition overall and warned the new Government it has very little time to act if we are to have sustainable, working water, waste, energy and transport networks in the future.
The report, an independent assessment of the UK’s infrastructure designed to outline priorities for the new Government, scored our water, waste, transport, flood and energy systems against the backdrop of public spending cuts, the urgent need to shift to a low carbon society and a recovering economy.
The full report, as well as UK regional briefing sheets, are available for download from the ICE website.
