Transport Asset Management Plan - Halton Borough Council

Halton Borough Council
Transport Asset Management Plan
Currently this is embodied in the document ’Highway Maintenance – A Strategy for Halton’ which the
Council approved as a statement of practice and procedures in 1998. Many changes have occurred
since, not least being the introduction of modified and updated Codes of Practice for highway
maintenance. An extensively revised strategy document is now required. It will contain details of actual
working practices to compliment the TAMP. The revision of the original document has already begun.
It is important that the aims and objectives of the Corporate Plan are met. It must however be
recognised that can be influenced by effective asset management have to be tailored to the availability
of resources identified in the appendices to this TAMP. This document will allow prioritization of these
scarce resources to ensure that the most effective economy and value for money are realized.
Our vision is to: -
“Improve value for money to stakeholders and to provide those who reside in, or visit,
the Borough with an effective, safe and sustainable highway network”.
To achieve this vision requires all involved to: -
“To deliver a highly efficient, cost-effective and good quality highway maintenance
service to the people of Halton”.
These two statements provide the basis for everything that is done within the Highways Transportation
& Logistics Department of the Environment Directorate. This Transport Asset Management Plan has
two functions in relation to this strategy. These are: -
1 It provides a statement of intent on what we will do to achieve the objectives
outlined in the vision (subject to funding).
2 It creates a tool for measuring how well we are progressing.
