Text

Minister, thank you for the investment in the Ballyrobin Road: it is long overdue and very welcome. Of course, most Members could talk about examples in their constituencies. As part of your innovation, you split the schemes for the B52 Portglenone Road at Randalstown into three. Every day, I go home by the last and most impactful section of that road, at Randalstown. Potholes are being marked there almost daily. That section was to be resurfaced three years ago. It is a main trunk road, and the noise of the vehicles impacts on the people who live in the houses on that road. Will you intervene to see what can be done to give those residents peace and to make the road safer for those who use it?
