As the waste management and recycling industry grows rapidly in response to environmental concerns, RMP look at the significant risks to local authorities, their staff and or contractors, and members of the public.
Managing the Highways
Introduction
Public highways can include carriageways, footways and cycleways. Not all Councils have responsibility for managing public highways, but those that do usually retain the status of a Highway Authority (Roads Authority in Scotland).
Highway networks are one of the most valuable assets that Council’s own as they play a vital part in delivering Council objectives by enabling safe and reliable journeys. In doing so, they support social wellbeing and economic prosperity.
The networks are essential for emergency services to execute their work effectively. Policing, healthcare, fire, and other emergency response services all require effective highway networks. A functioning society relies upon well-maintained and well-managed highway assets. It gets people to work, to study, to visit friends and family, and it supports the movement of trade across the country.
However, managing the nation’s public highways can be challenging. These challenges can be presented by a combination of increasing volumes of traffic, financial constraints on public sector spending, and environmental factors such as the impact of climate change.
