MHA+ Governance
It’s vital that all members contribute to the success of MHA+. Our governance structure gives every member authority a say.
MHA+ supports its member authorities to provide effective, efficient, innovative and sustainable, customer-focused highway services. We do this by:
- developing and sharing best practice in delivering highway services
- providing effective routes to market that reflect the quality, innovation and value for money we strive for
We’re governed by two boards: the Executive Board and the Programme Board.
Executive Board
The Executive Board provides our overall governance. It meets twice a year and reviews and approves the MHA+ business plan annually. Each member authority has a representative on the board.
The Executive Board:
- sets our priorities by approving the annual business plan at the start of the financial year
- creates an environment that encourages sharing ideas and information, and supports potential collaborative partnerships
- leads the development of national best practice
- monitors national and regional trends, and changes to funding programmes and legislation, so we can act quickly where needed
- raises the profile of our work nationally and connects with other regional alliances across the country
The business plan sets out our aims and objectives for the financial year, along with the right budgets to deliver them.

Programme Board
The Programme Board meets four times a year and gives technical oversight of our work.
The Programme Board:
- promotes common performance measurements and benchmarking
- oversees progress against our approved annual business plan
- makes sure our improvement, task and other groups stay fit for purpose
- monitors and oversees our budget
