Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Is there anything built in to ensure that areas such as my constituency of South Down that do not have rail links or solid, reliable, regular public transport on higher-quality buses, get more priority when it comes to road maintenance, given that we have lower-quality roads that are our only way in and out of the constituency?
