Decision details
Highways Management and Maintenance Plan (HMMP) 2020
PDF 117 KBDecision Maker: Executive Member for Planning and Transport
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve a revised Highways Management &
Maintenance Plan (HMMP) and its implementation. The current HMMP
has been reviewed to reflect latest national codes of practice and
to better reflect current highway maintenance functions.
Decision:
i. That the HMMP 2020 is approved, noting the key variations from the current plan;
ii. That the operational date for the HMMP 2020 is determined by the Head of Highways and Transport to ensure that adequate transitional arrangements are in place.
Reasons for the decision:
The UK Roads Liaison Group have published the Well Managed Highway Infrastructure (WMHI) code of practice for the public sector. This approach is endorsed by the Department for Transport and considered as a benchmark for Local Authorities when developing a risk management approach to highway maintenance. The Council’s current HMMP has been reviewed and revised to reflect this code of practice. Additionally, the plan has been updated to better reflect the wide range of highway maintenance functions delivered by the Highways and Transport Division.
Alternative options considered:
Failure to approve the HMMP 2020 would prevent the effective delivery of the Council’s statutory obligations as a Highway Authority and would be contrary to the position set out in the Council’s adopted Transport Policy (LPT3).
