Highways Asset Management Policy

Name
Highways Asset Management Policy
Summary

The borough of Rochdale has a diverse highway network serving densely populated urban centres, suburban communities and extensive rural areas. The differing characteristics, functions and demands of these networks require a flexible, risk-based approach to highway asset management.

This policy outlines what we need to do to meet our statutory requirements to maintain the assets. By highway infrastructure assets, we mean any asset owned by the council within the highway boundary, including carriageways, footways and cycleways, structures, drainage, street lighting, traffic signals and all street furniture.
