Require Local Authorities to adopt roads and public open spaces on new build estates

Ensure all public open space and roads on new estates are adopted by the local authority and maintained by them, paid for by local taxation.

Why is this important?

Management companies can charge any fees they choose to cut grass and repair play areas. This can lead to excessive costs for homeowners and can increase unfairly over time. An older nearby estate will be maintained by the council through the rates, leading to a completely unfair system.
