Road ownership

I have a couple of questions relating to the road leading from North Road to the South Molton Community Primary School EX36 3BA.

Could you tell me:
Who owns the road?

The road is in the ownership of Devon County Council (DCC)

Who is responsible for the maintenance of the road?

If the road requires maintenance then it would be the responsibility of DCC

What plans are there to adopt this road?

If the road requires maintenance then it would be the responsibility of DCC

Why is the only access road to a county owned and run educational institute privately owned?

The road to the Trust School is owned by DCC
