Text
Thank you very much, Gary. That is an important issue. We plan to consult on the remediation strategy for the Mobuoy site this spring, and it is key to do so. I am aware that phase 2 of the A6 dual carriageway project will encroach on the Mobuoy site. I declare an interest as my stepfather was a quality manager for phase 1 of that project. Northern Ireland Environment Agency officials continue to work closely with DFI Roads colleagues to ensure that an integrated and coordinated approach is taken. We look forward to launching that consultation soon.
