What do your conveyancing documents say?

Manner

It is mentioned in the deeds.

Is the road a private road ?. If so, then it might explain the existence of a management company. They may have been appointed by the builders to run the management side whilst the residents form their own committee to appoint their own ManCo. (or to hold an EGM to apply to the Council to adopt the road and then dismiss the ManCo & wind-up the residents committee).

You need to speak with your fellow residents to plan the next move. Such as forming their own committee to investigate what is going-on.

For many years councils have declined to take on, adopt, roads pathways and green spaces,and developers reluctant to pay the amount demanded to do so. These areas are then managed or sold off and any contribution is specified in your transfer deed, your title, or in a deed of covenant or is set as an estate rentcharge( note these are not the redeemable kind).

This happened in my home Town. In the end the property owners took control of the road, then dissolved the company they set-up to handle the management & handed the land to the Crown.
3 weeks later, the highways authority turned-up and brought it up to standards.
