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
1 May 2012
The Residential Roads (Adoption by Local Authorities) Bill would require residential roads built by developers to be handed over to the local highways authority within defined time periods. It sets out the process for transferring ownership and ongoing maintenance from developers to councils, with the aim of ensuring roads are properly maintained and responsibilities are clear for residents.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons, an early stage of its passage. If it progresses, it would move to committee for clause-by-clause scrutiny and then on to further readings.
