Minister, on the A29 at Cookstown, you are delivering a £430,000 active travel scheme that is being built as we speak. Like others, no doubt, I could point to loads of areas where that money could be far better spent. I want you to tell the people of Cookstown why we are building a £430,000 active travel scheme to literally nowhere when the state of the roads is absolutely atrocious and there is no money to fix potholes; I hear that day and daily from your engineers. What do you say to the people of Cookstown who ask me, "Why are they building that?"
