Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. She will be aware that I would like to see more money go to North Down for road maintenance and footpath repairs. My office has done a lot of work in that area. Over the summer, I certainly saw examples of pavements that are, frankly, dangerous for the elderly in areas where lots of elderly people live. My understanding is that there is no money. Will the Minister commit to sending some of her senior officials to North Down to meet me and the section engineer there to look at specific areas and to see whether something can be done?
