Transport Refresh Asset Management Plan 2015
Highways accommodate a number of functions for residents, business, and tourism, and cross boundary travel. To ensure a network of accessible, safe and fit for purpose routes and facilities the Transport Asset Management Plan must identify The assets and the type and the use of these networks, and opportunities for investment and improvement. This second Transport Asset the future! Management Plan for Rochdale will address these issues and set a platform for developing and securing the assets. RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan

1 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
A. Summary
Rochdale published TAMP 2014, which set out the roles of the highway service, functions of the network and the assets within.
The key approach remains, to know and understand our network and assets with a commitment to annually review the TAMP to ensure the assets register and standards remain up to date. The annual review will need to consider any change to the governance and management arrangement to support these assets.
For TAMP 2015, the review accommodates changes to costs and assets within the Highways register, and more notably the introduction of the Greater Manchester Key Route Network (KRN); the primary routes with a local strategic focus of sustained and improved performance.
Furthermore, Greater Manchester is part of the Northern Powerhouse ambitions for a joined up north, where the region can compete on a global stage with its neighbours “as a single economy and be stronger than the sum of their parts”.
By setting transport links beyond the boundaries of the conurbation, the Northern Powerhouse sets a platform for the north of England to compete on trade, industry and be on an equal commercial footing with the south.
To become a stronger competitive region, GM needs and requires a transport network that is fit for purpose, reliable and links centres of commercial excellence, supports freight and logistics, and ensures there is reasonable access for employment and education by public transport.
The recent launch of Transport 2040, which provides a localised backdrop to the Northern Powerhouse, will underpin the details that will lead to the delivery of local objectives and investments in transport.
To deliver our transport assets against this agenda will require increased resilience, monitoring and investment. We will ensure a positive contribution to the Northern Powerhouse is realised, and continue our successful response to funding opportunities and allocations as part of the government Local Highways Capital Funding reviews.
Rochdale has sustained investment and improvements to the transport network since TAMP 2014; with public transport improvements introduced and managed by our public transport partners, working with a range of developers, and investing in maintaining and improving Rochdale’s own transport assets with improving resilience and construction standards.
Continuing in enhancing our transport assets and the life cycles will support the local and regional aspirations for improving economic growth. Through succinct reliable transport networks that connect our city’ and towns.

B. Background
B.1 The Local Transport Plan
Greater Manchester will now take the opportunity to review the G M Local Transport Plan, and align the ambitions within the proposals for the Northern Powerhouse.
However, until the public consultation on Transport 2040 is completed and GMLTP4 is developed, districts will continue to support and follow the GMS and GMLTP3 objectives, which in essence are similar to the Northern Powerhouse.
GMLTP3 The third Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (GMLTP3 http://www.tfgm.com/pages/Results.aspx?k=gmltp) covering the period 2011/12 - 2015/16 set out to tackle problems and opportunities where highways and transport could support economic, social, health and environmental issues.
Economy In line with the Greater Manchester Strategy, prioritised investment in cost effective major road and public transport interventions that will create maximum economic benefit (GVA and employment), whilst also ensuring enhanced strategic social and environmental benefits Access from residential areas – particular those prioritised for housing growth – to key education and employment areas in support of the Greater Manchester skills and workplace objectives Access for freight to key economic centres and sub regional facilities Surface access to Manchester airport Efficiency, reliability and capacity of rail and road networks
Carbon / Climate Change Integrated spatial and transport planning in support of lower carbon economic growth Integrated Smarter Travel Choices programmes to promote lower carbon travel choices Delivery of lower carbon travel options Improved environmental performance across transport fleets and infrastructure Effective management of travel demand to minimise carbon emissions Best practice procurement to improve the carbon impact of investment and maintenance schemes Improved resilience of the transport system to climate change
Public Health and wellbeing Increased levels of walking across Greater Manchester A network of safe cycle routes in support of greatly increased levels of cycling across Greater Manchester Reduced incidence of casualties on the network Enhanced personal safety and security on all public transport networks Reduced harmful emissions and noise from road transport Improved access to health facilities
3 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
Sustainable Neighbourhoods and Public Spaces Improved access from priority neighbourhoods to areas of opportunity Improved access for people with disabilities Reduced impact of road traffic on deprived areas and priority neighbourhoods Improved quality of public realm in support of neighbourhood renewal and increased walking and cycling Reduced impact of traffic on biodiversity and protected natural sites
Value for Money Maximised efficiency of networks Effective prioritisation of spending to maximise contributions to economic growth priorities and maximised additional third party funding in support of spending priorities Best practice procurement to drive value for public money Improved satisfaction with the performance of GM’s transport network
The GMLTP3 objectives underpin the approach towards transport planning and investment across the 10 Greater Manchester Authorities. Through this combined approach the strategies required to support and develop the shared priorities have become intrinsically linked.
Reducing the single occupancy car journey for shorter trips can offer significant improvements to the local environment. And, there must be consideration to targets to reduce the levels of and occurrence of Road Traffic Collision’s (RTC’s), especially when resulting in Killed and Seriously Injured (KSI) casualties.
B.2 Growth and Reform
Public Service Reform is a review of how public services are and will be delivered. There are many strands to Growth and Reform, and this will cut across all departments and some aspects of service delivery. Rochdale continues working closely with stakeholders, identifying the activity and services required to sustain the key functions of the council.
Through the GMLTP3, we aim to improve the economy, the volume and type of travel across the region, with economic growth identified and facilitated. The shift in travel and transportation requirements therefore needs to support and not negate the improvements to quality of life that can follow economic improvements. These improvements can be short lived if access to services and employment is hindered though a developing network of highway and public transport congestion.
The Growth and Reform Plan for Greater Manchester http://www.agma.gov.uk/index:search.html?keyword%5Ball%3Atitle%3Ano%7Call%3 Alongtitle%3Ano%7Call%3Aintro%3Ano%7Call%3Abody%3Ano%7Call%3Afile_uplo ad%3Ano%5D=growth+and+reform+plan&action%5Bsearch%5D.x=0&action%5Bse arch%5D.y=0 determines an approach and the measures required to support economic growth and quality of life. This must be done whilst encompassing a shift for sustainable and multi modal travel, including cycling, walking and pedestrian environments respectively which are contributing to improved health and reduced obesity levels.
4 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
The need to prioritise funding and scheme implementation is paramount to the success in delivery of transport improvement measures. Particular emphasis is placed on improving peak time travel for both business commuter and school travel, encouraging a shift towards safer routes and environments for walking and cycling on shorter journeys.
Through effective delivery of the capital programme, demonstrating efficiency savings and value for money, significant progress to the GMLTP targets the districts of Greater Manchester will benefit. Improved levels of investment from the private sector and public funding and grant streams can be realised through effective “Growth and Reform” programmes.
For the transport service, this crosses a number of functions and a range of networks and facilities. As a result, Greater Manchester is undertaking a review of aspects of highways service delivery that would benefit from improved or new methods of working, including collaboration with other districts. Understanding our assets will help to protect the Borough of Rochdale as a town to invest and grow through effective and efficient asset management.
The introduction of the Key Route Network (KRN) across Greater Manchester is an example of how working together as one can enable a constant approach to a seamless network.
5 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
C The Network and the user
C.1 The Car and Freight Road User - Congestion Reduction and Traffic Management
Traffic schemes can broadly be enclosed within two categories, Community and Strategic, the latter being accountable for congestion reduction and the council’s duty to keep traffic moving. The Community schemes are therefore required to improve access to primary and secondary services clusters and facilities whilst increasing road safety.
Primary service clusters are established district centres and typically contain a superstore, public services, council offices, library etc. Secondary service clusters are smaller clusters of local services, e.g. shops, leisure facilities, health facilities etc. The general principal is that new or improved council services should be located in existing service clusters, unless there are clear operational reasons otherwise.
Selection Criteria – Each of the “service cluster” scheme types is weighted to review levels of return to improve the network; e.g. reduces congestion; improve safety, access to key services. This review can influence future priorities for investment in highway improvement works within respective strategic or community improvements:
Selection Criteria – Strategic Schemes Scheme Location – Congestion Monitoring Routes Traffic Flow – Vehicle Kilometres Level of Congestion – Average Network Travel Rate AM peak Average Network Travel Rate PM peak Average Network Travel Rate inter peak Potential to relieve Congestion – Traffic flow/model determined
Selection Criteria – Community Schemes Rochdale Transport Plan – Perception of Transport Element Casualty Figures – Accident Data, Casualty record Collision Figures – RTC Data Established Rat Run – Measured Average traffic Flow Speeding Issue – Measured Average traffic flow Potential to improve Access to / usages of Local Centres / facilities
Data on road statistics is available http://www.gmtu.gov.uk/
How we identify, use and serve the freight network is a GM consideration. Further details on local routes, facilities such as weigh bridges, and routing of abnormal loads can be found via http://www.tfgm.com/Corporate/freight/Pages/default.aspx
C.2 Buses – Stops and Bus Routes
Funding for bus corridors is predominantly created through DfT and the local transport levies; coordinated by TfGM, with districts delivering major route elements through capital funded programmes.
The routes identified for operational targets for key bus corridors include: Reducing whole route bus journey times
6 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
Reducing variability of bus journey times Improve pedestrian and cycling facilities Increase comfort and convenience of bus travel, and Ensure bus services provide a real alternative to car travel
Within Rochdale all bus improvement projects endeavour to achieve: Easing access to and encourage use of public transport Improving pedestrian and cyclist safety and access Enhancing access to key services and district centres Improve local accessibility
We continue to work with bus stakeholders, through TfGM to improve the bus services. This exercise aims to identify gaps in the network and locations of minor improvements to increase efficiency of the corridors.
The Bus Corridors in Rochdale and information on timetables can be found via http://www.tfgm.com/pages/Results.aspx?k=bus%20network
C.3 Cycle Infrastructure
Background – Within the LTP there remains a commitment to increase the levels of cycle trips, especially as part of the modal share agenda, which aims to reduce single occupancy car travel at peak times and improve the flow of traffic.
Currently there are over 200km of cycle infrastructure across the Rochdale borough. Together with GMTU we operate monitoring sites across Rochdale, which count the number of cyclists using some of our busiest on-road cycle lanes.
We introduce cycle infrastructure on the highways, putting into place good cycle design best practice when creating new cycle facilities. We aim to provide and improve, and increase where possible, safer facilities for cyclists to use. Access to the countryside is one of the key benefits of using a bicycle in the Rochdale borough. Even some of the commuting routes can take you through green spaces, without adding more than a few minutes to your journey.
Our cycle network is influenced by the geography of the borough, which has a great deal of open space and a good bridleway network. Parts of The Rights of Way network provide a key part of cycle route provision in the borough. Work is continuing on projects to expand the urban traffic free and quiet routes for cyclists.
Many schemes, including publicising routes, training and promotion are coordinated at a GM level http://cycling.tfgm.com/Pages/default.aspx .
Selection Criteria – Routes are subject to a range of constraints to ensure safe travel for all users of the highway and are subject to regulations and permissions on the highways often as shared use with pedestrians, buses, trams and cars.
7 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
C.4 Walking and Pedestrian Improvements
To achieve progress towards stopping the decline in the levels of walking activity the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan, and the Growth and Reform Plan identify objectives for supporting districts and the region in creating improvements for local and key centre access by sustainable modes. Through a network of pedestrian routes, that where possible are delivered to Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant standards, or provide acceptable and reasonable alternatives, our residents and visitors can interact with businesses and services.
The health benefits to individuals of regular physical activity is well known, and also supports participation in the reduction of the carbon footprint, and increased business productivity through healthier employee’s with improved attendance.
We need to concentrate a finite budget on key routes and services. Often through partnerships with other agencies and funding walking improvements are realised. Routes to key transport links, support services/hospitals and key employment sites will be created in synergy. With many improvements incorporated in traffic management and casualty reduction measures
The PROW in Rochdale is predominantly rural and the routes comprise the Definitive Rights of Way Map, which is legally approved. A part of this network incorporates access for cyclists and other modes. We must recognise the walking environment in all highways schemes, to ensure safety and access. The public realm improvements through our evolving programmes of heritage and regeneration improvements will consider the current and best routes.
C.5 Travel Plans
The key aim of any travel plan is to reduce the carbon footprint that results from any travel requirements.
A number of LTP objectives are under the banner of Behavioural Change or Travel Planning. Some of the areas in Rochdale that can benefit from travel plans may be central to towns or industrial areas such as educational sites and services, public sector establishments and facilities, businesses and industrial parks. All of these sites/areas, can with further work and partnership agreement, be considered for individual and or collective travel planning activity and support.
Rochdale continues to work closely with the current network of travel planning support that has been rolling out of across Greater Manchester over the last decade. Currently local travel planning activity is through partnership working across the Rochdale Council departments of highways, planning, education and health.
We aim to bring together our local stakeholders and create a sustainable travel model that extends from education, through to apprenticeships, creating a local talent pool that meets the needs of business growth and providing local access to local employment.
The range of modes, users and functions identified in TAMP are required to support and accommodate travel-planning objectives. Moreover, with a wider stakeholder’s engagement evolving, opportunities to improve the life cycle of the assets that incur the highest costs and deprivation rates may result.
8 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
C.6 Rivers, Canals and Waterways - Flood Risk
Rochdale Council manages a number of assets either as land owner, riparian owner or as Highway Authority which form part of our flood risk management infrastructure. These include:
Structures – including bridges, culverts, walls, drains and weirs; Land – including open spaces, water bodies and flood plain which contribute to existing or potential areas of land for sustainable drainage such as water storage; and Highways – including gulley’s and drains.
Particular risks for flood risk management include blockages, structural collapse for culverts or dam walls, and where channels and drains have insufficient capacity to cope with potential flood water volumes. The Council will focus particular effort in areas of significant flood risk from watercourses and surface water and on assets, which pose a greater risk of failure through deterioration, breach or collapse, inadequate capacity or potential for blockages. We will work with other risk management authorities such as the Environment Agency and United Utilities where appropriate.
Through our statutory role as a Lead Local Flood Authority, we will manage and monitor public and private structures and features important for flood risk management and ensure sustainable drainage is delivered through consent and enforcement powers as required.
This network is an intrinsic element of the Rochdale asset, with no bespoke category of the “user”.
The various types and extent of waterways across Rochdale means at some time, this network will interact with the highway functions and modes. This is significant to asset management, and therefore recognised with a separate asset register, management plan and policy http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/pdf/2014-04-10_Flood_Strategy_March_2014.pdf

E. The Future The systematic approach to TAMP
Complex condition surveys are required to understand the asset and the respective life cycle, gross replacements costs and developments in technical standards of construction. This is in addition to the legislative necessities of the Highway and Planning Authority as custodian and or asset manager alongside delivering functionality of the asset and the role in supporting the borough. This TAMP has identified the backdrop to understanding the use of the asset, financial risks of the asset failing (Gross Replacement Costs) and the legal implications of mismanagement.
The highway assets will deteriorate at differing rates, due to a number of factors, and it is therefore essential to monitor and maintain the assets with improvements delivered on a rolling priority. The tables supplied at section E are a snap shot of the asset as identified in spring 2014. This information should be treated with caution as the assets can be subjected to none life cycle deterioration which will affect the GRC.
How and when Rochdale will manage and maintain these assets follows the government standards and best practice. The current legislation and targets that underpins the different functions and facilities across the networks outlined at section D. Through the delivery of TAMP the assets across Rochdale will be reported and risks to the user and council mitigated. Furthermore, the Greater Manchester Road Activity Permit (GMRAPS) will ensure all works on the highways, including those delivered by the council are delivered in a timely and efficient manner as per the Roads and Street Works Act; protecting the network use and access.
Currently the processes and level of responsibility for prioritising and funding the works required to maintain the assets and delivering TAMP is through a risk assessment, to identify and resolve asset conditions as outlined below:
Establish Risk - Monitoring the asset Respective Code of Practice and inspections For each of the function and network the legal requirements as outlined in section D will dictate the priority (Officer / Technical)
Identify Risk- Working with technical staff and Members to assess the risk. Strategic, corporate, personal, and financial
Evaluate Risk Consequence and level of acceptable risk to asset and (Head of Service and Lead Member)
Manage Risk Implement the agreed actions to maintain, improve or remove asset and GRC. (All)
To ensure assets will be managed and maintained efficiently and appropriately, Rochdale Council is directed by Government Legislation, governance arrangements of the local authority and the supporting and evolving Greater Manchester approach to Growth and Reform.
20 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
With increasing pressures on budgets, efficiency and collaborative working across government and local authorities Rochdale continues to explore opportunities to improve and maintain the assets, whilst providing value for money and reducing disruption to the residents, public transport, local business and key strategic GM routes for emergency access.
To continue in our approach to support growth across Rochdale, we are working with our partners and stakeholders in Rochdale, across Greater Manchester and our neighbouring and regional authorities to ensure we can recognise the improvements required on strategic routes, and create investment that protects our current and future assets.
Locally, Rochdale is developing and creating a programme of regeneration across key areas and centres http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/planning_and_building/regenerating_the_borough.aspx. The range of highway networks and facilities that will become Rochdale assets as a result of these programmes will be added to those outlined in section E and included in our highways portfolio for future asset management. In addition, within this approach the highways policies and strategies will support and change to ensure we are adopting reasonable methods to protect and invest in the assets for all. We are utilising funding opportunities through our understanding of the network life cycle and needs, to secure increased eternal investment and funding.
Rochdale’s Transport Strategy underpins our future needs and aspirations and has been the conduit for translating the contribution our current and improving network adds to the regional agenda http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/the_council/delivery_strategies_and_review/place_and_e nvironment/transport_strategy.aspx, Furthermore, this has created the platform for aligning local priorities to the national and regional objectives in the Growth and Reform Plan for Greater Manchester. This sets the platform for investment in the region, and provides a focus on transport schemes to support growth in towns and connectivity locally and across the districts. Including access to the neighbouring regions, hosting links for rail, air, river and seaports. All of these are aspects that support local economies for export and distribution, and the key aspects of growing the local economy identified in the AGMA objectives http://www.agma.gov.uk/gmca/erdf-nw-operational-programme-2007- 2013/index.html

F. The Assets
Highways
The highways network accommodates a number of roads and footways. Some are for motor vehicles or pedestrians; some include parking bays, cycle lanes, bus lanes, metrolink tracks and the Public Rights of Way network. This network is vast, and includes approximately 90kms of A roads, 26kms of B Roads, 35kms of C Roads and 519kms of unclassified roads.
Details of those sections which are the responsibility of Rochdale Council are outlined below. The different sections of highways and maintenance standards are available: http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/the_council/delivery_strategies_and_review/place_and_e nvironment/highway_maintenance.aspx
Other functions and structures that are the responsibility of Rochdale Council are outlined below.
Public Rights of Way (PRoW)
In total the Borough of Rochdale has 1782 Rights of Way, the majority of which are in the North and East in the Townships of Wardle (232), Littleborough (659) and Milnrow (390). The Central, Western and Southern areas are less well served by the PRoW network, with Rochdale (226), Heywood (152) and Middleton (123) routes.
Further information on the network can be found in the Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/pdf/2007-12-12-rights-of-way- improvement-plan-2007-v2.pdf where this document describes the PRoW network and its asset standard, condition and permitted uses.
In October 2007 when the Council produced it most recent Rights of Way Improvement Plan the total length of the Borough’s Public Rights of Way network was 552 km of which 440 km were footpaths. There were 66 km of Bridleways, 46 km of Restricted Byways and 3 km of cycle paths. The Borough has 1782 Right of Way (October 2007) most of which are in the north and east of the Borough – Wardle (232 routes), Littleborough (659 routes) and Milnrow (390 routes). The central, western and southern areas of the Borough have a less extensive network – Rochdale (226 routes), Heywood (152 routes) and Middleton (123 routes).
There are two National Trails passing through the Borough; the Pennine Way and the Pennine Bridleway (which includes the Mary Townley Loop)
Pennine Way: - runs from the south east corner of the Borough near the M62 at Junction 22 then north through the borough for around 7.5 kilometres before leaving the north east of the Borough near Warland Reservoir. It is part of a 430km long high level ridge through moorland and the Lancashire and Cheshire levels as well as the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Scotland.
Pennine Bridleway:- runs from Derbyshire to Northumberland using a mix of packhorse tracks, drove roads and newly created bridleways through the
22 RMBC - Transport Asset Management Plan
Pennines. The section through Rochdale Borough enters the southeast corner just of A672 near the Ram’s Head public house and skirts Hollingworth Lake continuing to Calderbrook and further north via Reddyshore Scout.
Mary Townley Loop :- part of the Pennine Bridleway the loop begins at Calderbrook and runs for 68 km between Rochdale and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It provides a route across the north of the Borough from Calderbrook to Rooley Moor and on into Lancashire.
Rochdale Way :- a 45 mile (72km) circular route around Rochdale Borough following the Public Rights of Way network. The southern section of the route follows the Oldham Way within Oldham MBC. The Route runs from Hollingworth Lake takes in Blackstone Edge (on the Pennine Way), Watergrove Reservoir, Healey Dell, Knowl Hill, Naden Valley, Queens Park , Heywood, Rhodes, Alkrington, Middleton, Hopwood, Tandle Hill and Piethorn Valley.
Rochdale Canal:- :This is a 33 mile linear route runs between Sowerby Bridge and Manchester City Centre predominantly along the Canal Towpath with sections on the Public Rights of Way network. The section through Rochdale Borough runs from Warland in the north east of the Borough through Littleborough,, Kingsway Business Park, Castleton and Slattocks to east of Mills Hill Railway Station in the South East of the Borough. It is also a strategic cycle route and has received substantial investment through the Sustrans Connect 2 programme in recent years.
Pennine Edge Trail :- Predominantly uses existing routes and when completed in 2015 will connect each of the Pennine Edge Forest districts linking major woodland destinations. It provides routes for tourism, leisure, health, travel to work and school journeys across four districts (Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport and Tameside). The section in Rochdale Borough follows the route of the Rochdale Way.

Flood Risk
The assets with associated flood risk is extensive, and some of those related to the highways assets are discussed in this TAMP; including Bridges, Structures, PROW, roads, footpaths, cycle lanes. Each highways asset could be subject to flooding pending on a number of factors. To list a register of all these assets is not feasible. Pending on the flood event and asset, the response will differ. Example of the type of flooding and the responsible body is below:
Flooding type Description Party responsible for managing the risk Surface water flooding Flooding from intense downpours of rain that result in large volumes of run- Rochdale Borough Council off from land or when drainage systems cannot cope with the amount of rainfall. Groundwater flooding Occurs when the ground water table rises causing flooding. Rochdale Borough Council Highway flooding Occurs when the highway drainage system or the sewers they discharge into Rochdale Borough Council / Highways Agency cannot cope with the amount of rainfall entering the system, or when gully’s become blocked. Ordinary watercourses Flooding from intense downpours of rain that result in large volumes of run- Rochdale Borough Council off from land causes streams and culverts not marked on the main river map to overflow. Main river Flooding from rivers or streams on the main river map. Environment Agency
