highway failure their maintenance
The highway network is a key community asset, supporting both the local and national economy, contributing to the character and environment of the Borough. A well maintained network supports community mobility and accessibility essential to the wider aspirations of sustaining an inclusive society. The singular importance of management and maintenance of the highway network, for all categories of users, places an increasing demand on management systems to support service delivery. The Council has a statutory duty, under the Highways Act 1980, to maintain the highway network within Bracknell. Management and maintenance of the network is the responsibility of the Highways Asset Management Group within the Environment,
Culture and Communities Department. The Council maintains a network of approximately 450 kilometres of road, 700 kilometres of footpaths and cycle ways, thousands of street lights and signs and roadside gulleys. It also maintains hundreds of highway structures including our bridges, underpasses, and other highway structures. All of these must be maintained in a safe condition in spite of the increasing pressures created by increasing traffic volumes, heavier and larger lorries and works carried out by public utilities. The Highways Management and Maintenance Plan (HMMP) describes the policies, strategies and processes which shape the way the Council will develop and deliver its highway network maintenance service. It is drafted in line with the Council’s Interim and Medium Term Objectives and the Corporate Theme 10 of the Council’s service plan: to “improve transport and movement in and around the Borough”. It is linked to the Environment, Culture and Communities Department’s Service Plans and to the Council’s Local Transport Plan 2. It aims to deliver a safer highway network with improved travelling conditions for all users and to take greater care of the environment.
