Text

Thank you. Of course, all politics is local, but there is a particular problem in Newtownards, where businesses are unable to get a connection due to closed catchment. Obviously, that has an impact on lost rates revenues. Will the Minister commit to a cross-departmental approach to resolving that issue and, perhaps, to looking at an economic assessment of the problems that it creates?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
