Text

I thank the Minister for his response and for the update on the wider investment in greenways. I welcome the investment in greenways in the Ards and North Down Borough Council area. The Minister may be aware that the residents who live directly on the site where the footbridge is due to be constructed have expressed serious concerns about that aspect of the project. They have also raised wider concerns around road safety in the laneway that they reside on, speed limits and proposed alternative crossing options for access to the greenway but have been disappointed by the lack of engagement with DFI officials on their request to meet. Given the range of concerns that they have raised and the constructive proposals that they would like to bring to your officials, would you be able to facilitate a meeting between your officials and that group of concerned residents?
