Ó Muirí welcomes resurfacing commitments for Newtownhamilton | News in Newry
Sinn Féin councillor Barra Ó Muirí has welcomed a commitment to start long overdue repair works to a number of roads in Newtownhamilton.
The Slieve Gullion councillor says, “After much lobbying, we’re delighted that DFI has now committed to begin works on the Newry road and the Dundalk road in the new year.
“They are also monitoring the erosion on the Armagh road and are aiming to carry out repair works here in the new financial year on the basis of funding being allocated.
“These roads and others out of Newtown have been in an extremely poor condition for many years.
“And this was only worsened by the contracts issue which prevented any major works being carried out for a significant period of time.
“Thankfully these issues have been resolved.
“And I welcome the commitment from DFI to address these issues.
“People deserve to have roads that are safe and fit for purpose.
“Sinn Féin will continue to work to deliver improved road safety for workers and families across South Armagh,” he adds.
