2 DLOA PRINCIPLES
When developing the specific DLOAs, there are a number of underlying principles that should be reflected in the intent and wording of the document.
1. Spirit of Co-operation
In order to maintain effective agreements and operational coordination, the spirit of cooperation between the Agency and LHAs that has developed through a mutual understanding and appreciation of the key issues from each organisation's perspective will continue to be used to review and improve effective operational agreements.
2. Adapting to Change
Operational arrangements must be flexible enough to take account of the emergence of new technologies, major new initiatives and the effects of new or amended legislation. In particular, the Traffic Management Act 2004 and the duties placed on Local Authorities, in combination with the Local Transport Plans, will impact significantly on the operation of the local road network. Similarly the introduction and evolution of the Agency's Regional Control Centres will add another dimension to the local liaison process.
3. Existing Arrangements
Existing arrangements in place for the exchange of traffic information, for example with the Agency's Service Providers, will be further refined and harmonised and these relationships developed accordingly.
4. National Approach
The TOCC (representing LHAs) and the Agency will jointly seek to agree and promote national policies for operation of the NTCC and RCCs. The TOCC Executive will work towards co-ordinating responses of LHAs in dialogue with the Agency concerning the development of such national policies.
