Question
To ask the Scottish Government what support is available to townships that are trying to improve the condition of their primary road to a point where it can be adopted by the local authority.
Answer
The Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 places the statutory responsibility for local roads, including the improvement of private roads to adoptable standards, on local authorities. Townships should approach their local authority roads department in the first instance for advice on road adoption standards in their area.
