Text
Part of the works on phase 2 of the A6 upgrade between Caw and Drumahoe will encroach on the illegal waste site at Mobuoy. My Department is working with the NIEA and other stakeholders to ensure that any remediation proposals take account of each party's requirements, including those associated with the A6 phase 2 project. My officials await the publication of DAERA's draft optimum remediation strategy. Once that information is available, we will be in a position to consider its implications and develop a delivery strategy and timeline for the phase 2 project.
