Text

Dilapidation impacts not only on town centres but on communities in my constituency. In lower North Belfast, the communities of Skegoneill, Shore Road and Jellicoe are blighted by Japanese knotweed on unregistered and unowned land. Can the Minister give an assurance that he will try to bring the Bill to the House as soon as possible to ensure that residents, not only in North Belfast but across Northern Ireland, benefit from its new provisions?
