A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
We are the road managers (also known as street managers) for Welcomes and Uplands roads. The two roads concerned are unadopted and their maintenance is the responsibility of the residents (frontagers). Since it is impractical for residents to maintain their own section of the road, this task has been entrusted to a Road Committee since 1928. The original Road Committee changed its name to WURA in 2002.
WHY DO WE HAVE A ROAD LEVY?
Welcomes and Uplands Roads are unadopted which means the roads need to be
maintained by the residents (frontagers) at their own cost. Upkeep is currently
financed via an annual road levy charged to each resident. There is also a charge for
HGV usage to and from construction sites typically operated by developers. These
levies mean that residents do not have to maintain and pay for the section of road
fronting their property which would lead to the road becoming uneven, patchy, and
possibly impassable.
