<p>The government’s vision for the Strategic Road Network (SRN) is part of the Road
Investment Strategy. The importance of good design, and the use of good design principles,
is important and the government will want the company to make use of these principles
when intervening to maintain, renew, or enhance the SRN. The expectation on the company
in how it delivers its functions is set out in the licence and through which the Secretary
of State for Transport can influence the company’s behaviour. The licence already
contains requirements to conform to the principles of sustainable development and
to have regard to government policy. We are considering further how good design principles
are built into the governance framework.</p>
