POLICY/COMMUNITY PLANNING ISSUES 10. A well maintained road network will contribute to achieving the Community Plan objectives in relation to Economy & Skills and Safer Communities to maintain good access to our communities within East Ayrshire. 11. The matters referred to in this report contribute to South Ayrshire Council strategic objective of ‘Enhanced Environment through Social, Cultural and Economic Activities’ and within that to the outcome ‘Work with partners to improve roads and other infrastructure, to encourage house building and business investment that sustains local communities’. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 12. By virtue of the relevant statutory provisions, principally detailed within the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984, the Council as local roads authority is required to manage and maintain all publicly adopted roads within its area other than those which are maintained and managed by the Scottish Ministers. HUMAN RESOURCES IMPLICATIONS 13. The work programmes have direct impact on human resources and the Alliance will ensure all works are suitably resourced to maintain satisfactory progress. EQUALITY IMPACT IMPLICATIONS 14. An equality impact assessment is not needed because the proposal does not have a differential impact on any of the protected characteristics. 2 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 15. The Ayrshire Roads Alliance will deliver the strategic and local services as stated in the Service Plan. The budget is provided by East Ayrshire Council, South Ayrshire Council, and other external organisations. Appropriate scrutiny arrangements are in place to manage these budgets RISK IMPLICATIONS 16. The Ayrshire Roads Alliance Risk Register was approved at a previous Joint Committee. The Risk Register is reviewed and presented to every Joint Committee. 17. The Works Programmes, Service Plan and the Risk Register do not expose either Council to an increased risk as they have been developed from existing budgets and existing service commitment. TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY 18. This report aligns with the following design principle stated in the “Transformation Strategy 2017-2022” Maximum value for our communities; by ensuring the road network is maintained.
