The Logo of Responsible Street Works

Newsletters
All members receive a regular printed copy of the NJUG newsletter. It covers up to date news and features on various street works and other utility related issues.
Involvement in Shaping Public Policy
NJUG is a strong advocate of industry self-regulation, and ensures our members' interests are always appropriately represented
NJUG helps to shape future regulation on behalf of its members. It provides opportunities for members to convey their company's interest to government officials and parliamentarians face-to-face. NJUG also respond to consultations on behalf of all our members.
Tackling lobbying and the media as an industry body means a stronger voice and avoids the need for individual members to raise controversial issues of wider utility concern. All new full and trade association members will be offered a seat on the Public Affairs and Public Relations Group, giving an opportunity to influence NJUG’s policy and external communication agenda.
For details on how to become a member, please contact the NJUG Secretariat at info@njug.org.uk or on 0207 340 8737.
