Sue, I've always regarded the managed external environment as a 'facility' under Part III, an approach which has proven quite effective as it gives us an effective tool to persuade elected members to release funds for highway issues or surfacing changes. This approach was also been adopted by our highways department, until we lost them to the County Council, but the team I worked with still views it as such. Hope this helps.
