The Strategy
Introduction
This report presents the Strategy for the management of the M60 over the next 10-years. It documents the outcomes following internal workshops and stakeholder consultation carried out to date and presents proposals relating to:
- Policy Objectives,
- Route Functions and Performance,
- Route Problems and Issues,
- Land Use and Development Control Statement,
- Route Outcomes,
and how these affect the route.
Frameworks have been prepared for all the above elements that demonstrate the inter-relationship between them.
The report includes a series of Route Outcomes. These identify what the Highways Agency seek to obtain from the Route over the next 10-years and what measures or improvements need to be implemented to realise this strategy.
Objectives of a Route Management Strategy
The Route Management Strategy process has been developed to:
- Assist the HA in planning and optimising investment in the trunk road/motorway network.
- Provide consistency, transparency, openness and integration with other transport related strategies, local, and regional transport plans.

The development of RMS's assists the HA to achieve its objectives which is to deliver a high quality service to all its customers by:
