List of Public Roads (LoPR) Map

The List of Public Roads (LoPR) tool is provided by Dundee City Council as a service designed to be used by conveyancers and members of public to identify which roads, footways and footpaths are the maintenance responsibility of the local Roads Authority, Trunk Roads Operator or the Tay Road Bridge Joint Board.

Users should be aware that the records are constantly changing as new roads are adopted and responsibility for roads is changed. Any information viewed or printed is subject to the terms and conditions set out here.

> What is included in LoPR?

The online version of LoPR includes roads, footways and footpaths which are the responsibility of the local Roads Authority, Trunk Roads Operator or the Tay Road Bridge Joint Board for maintenance.

Roads and footpaths which are not adopted or maintained by Dundee City Councils local roads authority ( City Development ), but are adopted or owned by another department within the council (i.e. Housing or Economic Development) are not shown. Information on these can be obtained by telephoning the City Development Department on (01382) 434428.

> My street is not shown as adopted. How do I look into getting this adopted?

It may be the case that while the road is shown as unadopted, the road is in the process of being adopted. Please contact the Development Management (Roads) Team on 01382 433341 in the first instance to discuss this.

In order for Dundee City Council to consider adopting an unadopted length of road, an applicant must provide the following information:

Details of the road construction make-up
Details of the road widths and footway widths to be considered for adoption. If possible, shown coloured on a plan
Details of existing road drainage
Details of existing street lighting
Details of existing servcies (eg Water, Electricity, Gas) within the road

It should also be noted the Dundee City Council cannot consider adopting an unadopted road unless supporting evidence is provided in writing to show that a majority of the affected residents agree that the road should be put forward for adoption.

A Road Construction Consent Application must be submitted to Dundee City Council for any works required to bring the unadopted road to an adoptable standard.

To discuss the process for this or for further advice please contact the Development Management (Roads) Team on 01382 433341.

In the example shown to the right, the road is adopted but the footpaths are not.

> Seeing details on who is responsible for the maintenance of a route

When you do a street search, the whole street is highlighted on the map in different colours based upon who is responsible for each part. An information box also appears on the screen showing the key.

You can also get the same information by clicking on an adopted area on the map. It will highlight all of the road and footpaths that have been adopted and display the information box. You can use the “Zoom to road extents” button to zoom and show all of the road on the map.
