Text

Does the Minister agree that some of the frustrations in areas such as Drumtara are because the community sees problems but are not quite sure with whom to raise them? Sometimes they should be raised with the Department for Infrastructure, sometimes with council and sometimes with the Department for Communities. Can assistance therefore be given to communities to make it clear whom they should contact about the bread-and-butter issues that they face and are seeking help to address? Can some clarity be given about the different pathways and the most appropriate agency for them to contact?
