Via East Midlands Ltd (Via) is a joint venture company between Nottinghamshire County Council and CORSERV (a company wholly owned by Cornwall Council). The company aims to safeguard the delivery of a sustainable highways service for Nottinghamshire.
The idea to create a new company to look after the County's highways was put forward as part of Nottinghamshire County Council's budget consultation and comes as they look to find new and more efficient ways of providing services.
As a company which combines a public sector service ethos with a strong commercial focus Via will seek to generate additional income by offering competitive services to both the private and public sectors in the region.
