About Lincolnshire County Council
Lincolnshire, at 5,921 km2, is the fourth largest county in England and home to both the historic city of Lincoln and Skegness, the fourth largest coastal tourism resort in the UK, making Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) responsible for a diverse and busy over 5,000km of road.
With a growing university, a variety of market towns and large rural and agricultural areas, the Lincolnshire road network requires careful monitoring and expert coordination. LCC rely on one.network to help them keep residents and drivers up-to-date and disruption on the roads to a minimum.
Ashley Behan, Street Works and Permitting Manager at LCC manages a team of 30 Street Works and Permitting Officers, all of whom use one.network on a day-to-day basis to help coordinate works on Lincolnshire's highways.
Balfour Beatty, Lincolnshire's contractors, also use the platform in their Operational Control Hub to track all activity on the road network, monitoring live traffic flow and delays.
