Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Over the past few days, I have travelled the length and breadth of my constituency. Even outside peak times, there is congestion on our arterial routes and the connecting routes like the embankment. Those cycling routes are not just a nice-to-have; they are a necessity. Is there any way to prioritise taking into account the growing population in South Belfast and the growing need for alternative transport routes?
