Tackling the high number of unadopted housing developments and roads
That this Assembly expresses alarm at the high number of unadopted housing developments across Northern Ireland; regrets that some roads and footpaths have been left for decades without full adoption; highlights the significant challenges faced by affected homeowners when seeking to sell their property; is concerned that unfinished and unadopted sites are contributing to pollution in our waterways; stresses that those who have purchased a home in good faith must not be left to foot the bill of bringing their development up to an adoptable standard; further regrets the significant number of unadopted alleyways locally, which raises health, safety and public hygiene concerns; calls on the Minister for Infrastructure to proactively identify high-priority and legacy sites for adoption and to bring forward plans for more meaningful enforcement against developers who have entered into bonds but fail to bring roads and sewerage systems to a satisfactory standard; and further calls on the Minister to work alongside Northern Ireland Water and Executive colleagues to develop, and publish, a new strategy to address the backlog in unadopted roads.
