Decision details

Consideration was given to the response to a Notice of Motion, on the assignment of funding for road maintenance, submitted to the Council at its meeting on 19 July 2012.

It was reported that the Authority had invested in software which allowed local highway officers to view the overall condition of the road network and to provide data to prioritise investment such that the best value solution was delivered.  The tools used nationally accredited survey techniques and the output was considered to be both objective and repeatable; it also linked back to the Code of Practice for Highway Maintenance, Well Maintained Roads.

RESOLVED

1.    That planned maintenance activity continues to be identified and prioritised based on the condition of the network. 

2.    That the programme for the forthcoming month, as well as the works undertaken in the preceding month, be published on the Service Information Centre (SIC) and is reported at a LAP level.
