To consider a report of the Executive Member for Highways, Parks and Environmental Services.

[Please note: The HIAMP document, owing to its size, is not being reproduced in hard copy; but is available on the Council’s website with this agenda.]

1. That the HIAMP 2017 be approved as the guiding plan for highway infrastructure asset management for which Trafford Council is responsible.

2. That the indicative five year highway maintenance programme be published for consultation.

The Executive Member for Highways, Parks and Environmental Services submitted a report which presented, and sought approval for, the Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP) 2017 and related documents. An opportunity was provided for Members to ask questions on the report’s content. These focussed on the cost and timescales associated with improving “red” category roads to amber or green, and the extent to which financial projections allowed for such factors as materials and pay inflation. It was agreed that the Executive Member would respond outside the meeting.

            RESOLVED -

(1)       That the HIAMP 2017 be approved as the guiding plan for highway infrastructure asset management for which Trafford Council is responsible.

(2)       That the indicative five year highway maintenance programme be published for consultation.
