Delays to Newry road works a ‘massive blow’ – Newry MLA | Newry Times
Newry MLA Liz Kimmins has expressed her frustration that road resurfacing works in four areas, including Newry, Mourne and Down, have been delayed due to a legal challenge.
The Newry and Armagh MLA stated, “The fact that road resurfacing in the four council areas of Newry Mourne and Down, Mid Ulster; Derry and Strabane; and Omagh is being delayed.
“This is due to a legal challenge and will come as a huge disappointment for the people living in these areas.
“Affected asphalt resurfacing works that have been impacted are now expected to commence early in 2022.
“Our road network is already a shambles.
“And its worsening condition negatively impacts on people and communities on an everyday basis,” she insisted.
“Now much-needed investment into our road network has been delayed.
“This week I expressed to the Infrastructure Minister my complete frustration over this development.
“And I called for this obstacle to be addressed as a matter of urgency.
“Our road network is in serious need of investment.
“And I will continue to call for resurfacing works to continue ASAP,” the Newry MLA adds.
