Research must be part of the mix if NISTA and the 10-year infrastructure strategy are to be successful
The Chancellor Rachel Reeves affirmed in Labour’s 2024 budget commitments to producing a 10-year Infrastructure Strategy and to the formation of the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA). The Infrastructure Strategy is cross-government and aligns with spending cycles. NISTA combines the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) and the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) to “fix the foundations of our infrastructure system by bringing infrastructure strategy and delivery together addressing the systemic delivery challenges that have stunted growth for decades”1.
