All Local Authorities are required to manage their road maintenance programmes in line with the Code of Practice “Well Managed Highway Infrastructure” which promotes the adoption of an integrated asset management approach delivered by competent staff. In section B.5.6.2 the code specifically states that Authorities will need to define “competence levels of staff to set or approve Investigatory Levels” and that “each site investigation should be undertaken or led by suitably competent personnel”.
