Highway Asset Management
Walsall Council’s Highway Asset Management Plan
If you live, work, or simply pass through Walsall you will probably use the single most valuable asset to the community, which Walsall Council is responsible for - the highway network. Whether on foot, cycling, using public or personal transport we all need the highway network in order to get around.
The way it is maintained and managed has a direct impact on the borough’s residents, businesses and visitors. We all depend upon a reliable service from our road network in order to sustain our economic and transportation needs, it is vitally important to have a network that is in good condition if we are to reflect the buoyant economy that exists in Walsall.
Walsall’s Highway Asset Management Plan (HAMP) will provide an integrated framework through which we will deliver highways maintenance across the borough’s road network in a way that optimises resources for the management of the highway infrastructure.
The primary function of the Highway Asset Management Plan is to maximise value for money for road users and residents while carrying out the council’s duties as the Highway Authority.
Walsall’s Highway Asset Management Plan has strong links with the council’s corporate goals, objectives, policies and pledges; and provides the foundation for delivering a well-maintained and managed highway infrastructure. The Plan signals the beginning of a new approach to maintaining the council’s road network, it sets out the management arrangements required to ensure levels of service are optimised in a way that ensures the highway asset is managed, wherever practical, to meet the expectations of highway users.
