Merger 2020/21
Midlands Highway Alliance (MHA)
Midlands Service Improvement Group (MSIG)
West Midlands Highway Alliance (WMHA)
From 2020, work was undertaken with the Midlands Service Improvement Group and the West Midlands Highway Alliance – with a view to the three organisations merging. It was envisaged that it would be a staged approach – over two years.
The 2020/21 business plan identified the activities planned by the Midlands Highway Alliance and the Midlands Service Improvement Group over the financial year, and how they will be funded.

The plan took account of the merger between the Midlands Highway Alliance, Midlands Service Improvement Group and the West Midlands Highway Alliance. It included consideration on how duplication is minimised and expertise maximised – given the consequent increase in Midlands Highway Alliance Plus (MHA+) member authorities.
