Repair and Maintenance Strategy

This strategy sets out how the Council’s maintenance needs will be identified, managed, monitored and reported on.

The Head of Corporate Estates is responsible for developing and implementing asset management planning within the Council. Repairs and maintenance are a key element within this process. The corporate estate is valued in excess of £585 million and an effective repairs and maintenance strategy is needed to ensure that it will be maintained to an appropriate standard and financial and other risks controlled.

The strategy will seek to satisfy the following criteria:

• Operational capability will be maintained and service delivery improved where possible.
• Decisions will take into account.
• Maintenance solutions will be cost effective in whole-life terms and reflect the Council’s sustainability policies. (Effective use of planned maintenance should reduce the need for reactive maintenance).
• The market value of the asset will be preserved.
• Risks to health and safety will be controlled.
• The security of premises will be maintained.
• The reputation of the Council will be maintained.
• Contractual liabilities will be met.
