The council confirms that the road has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with a construction consent, granted in accordance with the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. As such, as Roads Authority, the council, is required under the Act to add the above roads to its Statutory List of Public Roads.

That means the council is now responsible for its maintenance, street sweeping and gritting for the road, from the roundabout west to the two show houses at the entrance to the new town. The footpath is also adopted.
