Resolved that the
recommendations detailed below be included in the refresh of the
Council’s Highways Asset Management Plan. It is also resolved that the definition of a
highway defect depth, or ‘investigatory level’, be
changed from 50mm to 40mm and that this will be implemented with
immediate effect. A communications strategy will be developed and
implemented ahead of the Councils Highways Asset Management Plan
(HAMP) refresh but will also be included within the HAMP.

Utilise Vaisala Road AI to establish not only condition bands but

it is feasible to deliver preventative interventions.

|
A review of the network hierarchy in order to ensure that the
current inspection regime and wider asset management decisions are
applied appropriately to the network and changes are captured.
|
|
3
|
Update the Highway Inspection Procedure to more reflect the
guidance in Well Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code of
Practice. This is to include a review
of the Investigatory Levels set out in the documents.
|
|
4

Review the current defect response times across all defect types to
ensure that the balance of keeping the network safe and that the
delivery of repairs and interventions occur in an efficient and
effect manner.
|
|

|
Explore the development of a method to link the follow up permanent
repairs with initial temporary repairs.
|
|

network with a view to trialling and adopting a wider, more
flexible suite of repair options.
|
|
7
|
Adopt the updated Highways Communication Plan and ensure its
implementation to keep stakeholders informed of highways
