ReI Queries regarding road. and .ervlce. abutting premise. and propertle•• Dear Sir, As you are no doubt aware, the Council receives a considerable number of queries relating to the status of roads and services abutting premises and properties from your members who are acting for vendon and purchasers. Quite often identification of premises poses a problem in the absence of a suitable site map and the Council finds itself in a position whereby it cannot reliably conftrm if the roads and services abutting a particular premises have been taken in charge or not. Accordingly, it would facilitate the Council in responding more quickly if in future all such queries are accompanied by a site map. As already stated the volume of queries is quite considerable and it would be appreciated if your members submitted their queries as early as possible before the information is actually required.
