Alderstead Council identifies local infrastructure requirements and helps residents understand which organisation is responsible for considering or delivering them.

Local needs

A requirement may arise because a council service cannot operate effectively, a local place has changed or residents have identified a gap affecting community life. The council records the need, considers the local evidence and determines which function owns the next decision.

Who delivers infrastructure

Some infrastructure falls within local council responsibilities. State infrastructure functions allocated to the National Infrastructure Service are delivered by that service. Strategic functions conferred on the Steadfast & Hearth Combined Sphere Authority remain with the strategic authority. Location alone does not determine which organisation owns the function.

Raising a requirement

A useful report explains the location, the practical problem and the outcome that is needed. The council can then decide whether to handle the matter through a local service, incorporate it into place planning or refer it to the organisation responsible for delivery.

Track the right organisation

See Raise a local infrastructure requirement to submit the issue through the council route. See Who is responsible for infrastructure for the division between local, strategic and national functions.
