I gather from the short time I have been in the Chamber that it is not so much about the Department taking on the burden as about enforcement.

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members who tabled the motion and the Members who have spoken on it. I am conscious of the private Member's Bill to be introduced by Deborah Erskine on the subject. My officials are gathering information to inform her proposal, and I look forward to working with Deborah as…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for letting my name be added to the list at such short notice. I only came in to listen, and I was getting post-traumatic stress disorder from the debate, having worked for constituents who live in a development in South Belfast and have been waiting for 13 and a half years for their road…

My colleague is distracting me here. I declare an interest as someone who recently moved onto an adopted road. However, the Minister will be pleased to know that my neighbours do not want the road to be adopted. That one can be taken off the Minister's list. I do not intend to use this as an opportunity to bash the…

I thank the Member for giving way and for raising that point. I know that, in some circumstances, homeowners are then left with a bill that can run into tens of thousands of pounds because a developer has either gone into liquidation or gone bust. Homeowners are left counting the cost of that, which is huge when you…

I thank my colleagues tabling the motion. A lot of the issues have been covered, so I will be as brief as I can. Unadopted housing developments are a blight right across our constituencies, with unfinished footpaths and roadways posing a serious health and safety risk to homeowners and residents in these areas. Kerbs…

The problem of unadopted roads and developments is a long-standing issue, and there is a fair number of them in Northern Ireland. I am the third or fourth MLA to point out that there are now 1,868 unadopted developments in Northern Ireland. Of those, 170 are in the council area of Newry, Mourne and Down, which…

Does the Member agree that perhaps the Minister should look at piercing the corporate veil legislation to ensure that developers are not able to set up shell companies and seek protection in that way, if we do not already have that legislation? Perhaps the Minister will comment on that.

I welcome the opportunity to speak on an important issue that affects so many parts of Northern Ireland. At the outset, I declare an interest, as I plan to move into an unadopted housing development shortly. I just want to keep myself right We will have to hear what the Minister says. I might have to change that. As…

I, too, welcome the motion and the amendment. All our people deserve access to secure, adequate and affordable homes. That should be supported by good local infrastructure and amenities, accessible services and strong communities. Housing is not just about having a roof over your head but, importantly, is about…

Any site that is not adopted is unadopted for one reason only: the developer has not carried out their duty to bring the site up to an adoptable standard. It is not a case of DFI turning around and saying, "We do not want it". I know that the nature of the game that we are involved in is to have a go at the Department…

I also declare an interest as someone who lives on an unadopted street. Unadopted housing developments, footways, roads and alleyways are a massive concern that impacts on countless people to varying extents, but it is a problem that has evidently gone unchecked. It is frustrating that, 12 years since the Regional…

Thank you for giving way. I appreciate that developers want to get the final surface on and be done with it, but, in the Ayrshire development in Lisburn, the developer has been allowed to build multiple phases without the sewers even having been agreed for approval, which then causes exactly those problems. Do you…

The Ulster Unionist Party will support the motion and the amendment. The sponsors and the Minister will know that I, too, have been raising the issue in the Chamber, at Committee and at any other opportunity that I get. As elected representatives, we know that, at the best of times, it is hard to get roads repaired,…

Does the Member agree that some of the alleyways that he talks about contain infrastructure that could only have been placed there by DFI or its predecessors, and that, therefore, it cannot deny that it has something to do with them?

I thank the Member for giving way and for raising the issue of alleyways. Being a Belfast rep, he will know that it becomes an issue because nobody seems to want to take responsibility for it, yet it has a huge impact on residents, with health and safety concerns. There is a lot of fly-tipping and nobody is taking…

I welcome the motion and thank the Chair of the Infrastructure Committee for proposing it. As we have heard, it is not a new issue. To my knowledge, it was discussed here in 2012 and 2021, in councils and at the Infrastructure Committee, so the Minister and his officials will be acutely aware of the issues faced by…

I welcome the motion and the opportunity to speak on an issue that affects each and every constituency in the North and that, in turn, impacts on the lives of real people in our communities. Our communities deserve to have good-quality public services and infrastructure, including proper roads, footpaths, street…

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am happy to support the motion, obviously. I think that the amendment strengthens it: I am glad that the proposers of the motion accept the amendment, and I hope that the House does as well.
