Summary: This report updates Members on the identified schemes approved for construction
1. Introduction
This report provides an update and summarises schemes that have been programmed for delivery in 2022/23 and 2023/24.
In summer 2021 Kent County Council published a Highways Asset Management Plan (HAMP), which included, as Appendix C, a five-year Forward Works Programme for the years 2021/22 to 2025/26. this reflected the need to move away from annual programmes and to consider asset management activity a multi-year one.
The first part of the programme concerned the two years 2021/22 - 2022/23. Around half of the schemes included in that programme have now been delivered, and as a result we have now produced a new programme covering the years 2022/23 - 2024/24. As before, most of the sites included in this programme have already been verified by our engineers.
The second part of our programme related to years three to five of our five-year programme (2023/24 - 2025/26). This too needs revision to cover the years 2024/25 – 2026/27, and the work required to do this is currently in progress. As before, our new year’s three to five programme will be largely based on data from our asset management systems, so may be subject to more changes as the schemes are verified.
This programme is subject to regular review and may change for several reasons including budget allocation, contract rate changes, inflationary pressures such as material price increases, conflicting works, and to reflect our changing priorities. The programme and extent of individual sites within the programme may also be revised following engineering assessment during the design phase, and additional sites may be added or others advanced if their condition deteriorates rapidly so that we need to react to keep the highway in a safe and serviceable condition.
Further information about how we manage our highway infrastructure, including our county-wide five-year forward works programme, may be found on our website:
In addition to planned maintenance of our highway assets, this report includes transportation and safety schemes, developer funded works, Combined Members Grant schemes, and planned maintenance of public rights of way.

Appendix I – Parish Council Highway Improvement Plans Update
Parish Councils can request and fund their own highway improvements to address local concerns that would not otherwise meet Kent County Council's intervention criteria. Parish Councils can highlight any non maintenance issue they would like to address via their Highway Improvement Plan (HIP), which will reviewed by KCC officers on an annual basis. Following this review, KCC will make suggestions as to what engineering measures may be appropriate. There is no dedicated budget to install items identified on the parish HIPS, but KCC can work with the parish to install small scale signing and lining improvements, or larger schemes which the parish may choose to fund themselves.
The following table details when a (HIP) was last received from each parish council. If a parish name is not shown, it means no HIP has been received over the past twelve months. This list is up to date as of 20/09/2022.
