My constituents in the Sourhill development of Ballymena have a problem with an unadopted road. Minister, can you understand their frustration? The developer went bust many years ago; there is an unadopted road; and trees are literally growing into their property. That will cause structural damage. It is causing health issues with mould, and nobody will fix it. The council will not cut down the trees; the DFI will not do it; and the Crown Estate takes no interest. Someone, through no fault of their own, will have to pay thousands of pounds to cut back trees that a bust developer has left.
