To ask the Minister for Regional Development for his initial assessment of the report from the Committee for Regional Development on Unadopted Roads.

As the Member will be aware, I was recently provided with an advanced draft of the Committee for Regional Development’s report on Unadopted Roads which, I understand, is due to issue in final form in the coming days. This is an important issue and I sympathise with homeowners who are left with unfinished or inadequate private roads and sewerage systems.

When it is published, I will examine its findings and recommendations in conjunction with my officials and carefully consider what needs to be done in light of those findings.
