A Bill to require the handover of residential roads built by developers to local highways authorities within certain time periods; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons

This Bill would require residential roads built by developers to be handed over to the local highways authority for adoption within set time periods. It aims to ensure these roads are properly maintained and managed by the council rather than remaining under private developer control, improving safety and consistency across neighbourhoods. It also outlines the process and rules for adoption and related matters.
The Bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to Committee Stage for detailed examination, followed by Report Stage and Third Reading, before moving to the Lords for consideration.
