Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP) is the link between our strategic objectives and our operational activities. The HIAMP sets out in detail how the authority manages each of our highway assets to meet strategic goals in the most effective manner having regard to statutory requirements, customer expectations and funding constraints.

Decisions:

“A well-managed highway network that is safe, serviceable, and sustainable is one of the best ways to foster job creation, encourage economic growth and support local communities. It makes an important contribution to social inclusion, community safety, and education and health.

 

Effective management of our highways assets has never been more important. This plan tells us how the county council will manage our highways infrastructure in the best way possible, ensuring we continue to meet our statutory duties, that we optimise the allocation of our resources and, wherever possible, can secure the maximum available funding from central government”.

 

Cllr David Williams, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport
