Executive Summary
Leeds City Council’s Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP) has been designed to direct and inform service users and those involved in service delivery about the way in which Leeds City Council intends to maintain its highway network over the next 5 years.
Particular emphasis has been placed upon service delivery improvements and how outcomes will be realised through the asset management process strategically, tactically and operationally.
This plan should be read in conjunction with, or at least with reference to, several other important publications such as:
This plan will provide an integrated framework for the delivery of Highway Maintenance services and Asset Management across the City’s road network and optimises resources for the management of the highway infrastructure.
The objective of the Plan is to develop how highway services are delivered, in a way that makes the process more intelligence led, customer responsive and ‘joined up’.
An intelligence led approach will ultimately bring greater value for money and help achieve key Council goals that can be found in strategies such as our:
- Sustainable Community Strategy
- Corporate Plan
- Local Transport Plan
In line with all other Highway Authorities in the UK, our aim is to provide a service that, so far as possible and within financial constraints, meets the general objectives and requirements of the national code of practice.
