Who do I contact for information regarding a Section 38 or Section 278 Agreement?

Who do I contact if I have a road adoption status enquiry?

The Development Control Team will answer initial enquiries about road adoptions,  however the responsibility for formally adopting a road remains with the Isle of Wight Council and not Island Roads.

Is there a fee for the authority to respond to an road adoption status enquiry?

Yes. We charge a minimum of £28.00 to respond in written format to an enquiry relating to adopted status of a road. This fee is due in advance and can be paid by cheque (payable to ‘Ringway Island Roads’), credit/debit card or BACS. However, we do not charge to respond verbally.  Send your request to the Development Control Team either by post, or by email to developmentcontrol@islandroads.com
