Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP)

The ROWIP, was published in November 2007 and will be fully integrated into LTP2 by 2011. It is a wide-ranging document which considers the access and rights of way network in its broadest sense including new opportunities and the links between access and issues such as health and exercise, tourism and education. The ROWIP includes an Action Plan for the County Council and its partners.

Transport Asset Management Plan (TAMP)

Local Authorities have for many years been required to demonstrate that they are making best use of their property and other assets through asset management plans. In compliance with LTP2 guidance, this requirement has now been extended to the preparation of an asset management plan for transport related assets including the highway. Asset management principles provide a strategic approach that enables transport assets to be managed in a more effective manner.

One of the main advantages of asset management is that it enables the value for money aspect of local road maintenance to be considered more effectively against other local transport spending. This will assist local transport strategy and the production of future transport plans. Effective asset management provides the means to understand the value and liability of the transport network and to make the right strategic decisions, thereby ensuring that the asset is exploited to its full potential, and its value safeguarded for future generations.

Developing a fully effective TAMP is an extensive task, as it not only involves setting out in a plan how we manage our transport assets, but also involves reshaping the way we do things to ensure that our decision making processes and our practices are founded upon asset management principles. Our TAMP, at present, is broadly a statement of how we do things now. We have engaged asset management consultants to work alongside us for a period of time to help us to embed asset management principles into our systems and processes. We will then be in a position to finalise our TAMP, and to realise the benefits.
