Highways asset management plan (HAMP)
The Highways Asset Management Plan (HAMP) outlines the strategic approach to maintaining the infrastructure that Dorset Highways is responsible for.
The Highways Asset Management Policy and Strategy document is a summary of the HAMP. It demonstrates how Dorset Highways has aligned its approach to management of its highway assets to the priorities set out in the Dorset Council Plan. It further documents how decisions have been made to determine investment strategies across all of our highway assets.
Highway maintenance plan
The Highway maintenance plan is a supporting document to the 'HAMP' and outlines the current approach to maintaining our highway assets. It defines service levels for activities across the service.
The plan typically documents the revenue maintenance activities, which includes reactive responses (ie to potholes, flooding, emergencies) and cyclic activities (planned gully emptying).
The highways service is still working to this plan, however, due to the formation of the new Dorset Council it will be reviewed in the near future.
Service plan 2022 to 2024
This is the third service plan we’ve produced as part of Dorset Council. The first two helped to set our priorities as a service, but were both short term. Our new plan provides the link between the Dorset Council Plan and how the highway service will work as a team to deliver against the corporate objectives. The two plans complement each other and will run in tandem until 2024.
Performance
Performance across all aspects of the service is monitored and reported throughout the year. Our performance framework outlines how we measure the delivery of the highways service.
Communications strategy
Our communications strategy outlines our commitment to engaging with our residents and keeping them informed about how we are managing the condition of our highway network.
Local highways maintenance transparency report
The Department for Transport (DfT) has requested that all local highways authorities publish information about their highways maintenance activities.
