Royal assent given.

The new Infrastructure Act that allows for the creation of a Government Company to replace the Highways Agency was given Royal assent today. This means that Highways England goes live on 1st April 2015 (yep - Aprils fools day - what a joke!) This means that the term HATO will no longer exist.
