UK: Diana Montgomery, the chief executive of the Construction Products Association (CPA) has expressed frustration about the political deadlock that has resulted from the UK general election that took place on 8 June 2017. “From a business perspective, this is frustrating. We need certainty and clarity in order to address the serious challenges and opportunities facing UK construction over the next few years,” she said. She raised concerns over the delivery of the government’s National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline, the government procurement process and its policy levers to address skills and housing shortages and the costs of energy and business rates to business. She added that she feared that the industry was facing a, “…period of greater instability at a critical time for our industry.”
