2022/23 Capital Investment in Public Realm Infrastructure, Traffic and Risk Management: £1m Retaining Walls Programme of Works
As set out in the Cabinet Member Report, the
proposed investment, will invest in the Public Realm and mitigates
identified risk in the network, due to the scale of need and
investment, which cannot be mitigated in the current Annual Plan
due to other commitments and constraints.
The investment supports the county plan and ambition for
Herefordshire:
Environment: protect and enhance our environment and keep
Herefordshire a great place to live;
Community: strengthen communities to ensure everyone lives well and
safely together; and
Economy: support our economy which builds on the county’s
strengths and resources.
Reducing the Risk of Highway Retaining Wall Collapse is a concern
following the B4224 near to Fownhope. The risk in structure remains
significant. In order to manage the risk of these, without
diverting funds from other critical assets or asset types, this
project intends to deliver works to the most important structures.
Priority will be based on the risk and road hierarchy such as
strategic and resilient network. This work has been progressed
using the principles of utilising a risk-based approach as required
by both the Highways Maintenance Plan and the UK Roads Liaison
Group’s Well Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code of
Practice.
A procurement strategy which will adhere to the Councils
Procurement Rules will be developed for the delivery of this
investment to ensure value for money which will be confirmed in
further governance as set out in recommendation (b).
