Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP)
Kingston Council has adopted a new Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Plan to guide road upkeep and investment.
Kingston Council's Place Committee approved the new Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Plan (HIAMP) in September 2026, marking the first comprehensive update to the council's road maintenance strategy in a decade. This strategic framework aims to shift from reactive repairs to a proactive asset-preservation model, guiding the council's approach to road upkeep and investment.
The council expects the HIAMP to lead to cost savings, minimise vehicle damage claims, and reduce traffic disruption. It is also designed to lower environmental impact, support the council's climate action targets and active travel ambitions, and is a requirement for securing maximum Department for Transport funding.
