Infrastructure responsibilities in Alderstead are divided between local, strategic and national bodies according to the function involved.

Alderstead Council

The council identifies local requirements, provides local place evidence and manages infrastructure matters that fall within its assigned local functions.

National Infrastructure Service

The National Infrastructure Service delivers State infrastructure functions that have been allocated to it. Alderstead Council can identify a local requirement without becoming the delivery body for a national infrastructure function.

Steadfast & Hearth Combined Sphere Authority

The combined sphere authority exercises strategic functions conferred across its area. Where infrastructure is strategic, the council's role is to represent Alderstead's local need and work with the strategic authority rather than duplicate the strategic function.

How to identify the owner

The responsible organisation is determined by the function, not simply by the location of the asset. A facility may be physically in Alderstead while the service or infrastructure function belongs to a strategic or national body. The council's public information should therefore identify the legal or administrative owner of the function before promising action.

Why the owner can differ from the location

An asset or facility can be physically located in Alderstead while the function belongs to a strategic or national service. Responsibility therefore follows the function and the legal or administrative arrangements, not simply the map. This is why the council may record a local requirement and represent the effect on residents even when another organisation is responsible for delivery.

If you are unsure which body owns the issue, raise the requirement with enough location and service detail for the council to identify the appropriate route.
