Case study: Balfour Beatty Living Places
About the project
Southampton City Council entered into a partnership with Balfour Beatty Living Places (BBLP) in October 2010 to provide an efficient, sustainable and community focussed highways and infrastructure service.
The partnership supports the council through cost certainty and maximising value through collaborative working to deliver all aspects of highways maintenance and development.
