  2. Debate contribution: Road Safety

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    As I said earlier, road safety is a major priority for me as Minister. I am committed to considering any initiatives that will improve road safety for everyone. I recently announced an extensive package of road safety measures aimed at safeguarding schoolchildren travelling to and from school, as I mentioned earlier,…

  3. Debate contribution: Housing Estates: Access and Egress

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I offer my best wishes to those residents. Nobody likes to be in that situation, whether it be a security incident or whatever it may be. I cannot imagine how stressful and anxious a time that must be, especially if it has happened on a number of occasions to those residents. As I said, that second access must be…

  4. Debate contribution: Housing Estates: Access and Egress

    I thank the Minister for that answer. Minister, there are six separate housing developments in that complex, encompassing well over 600 to 800 houses. That is a lot of residents. They were locked in their homes for the third time in the past couple of years and could not get out due to a bomb scare on the main shared…

    The numbers and types of access for developments are assessed on a site-specific basis as part of the planning process, taking into account site constraints and transportation assessment modelling. The Creating Places supplementary planning guidance is used in the design of all proposals for residential development…

  6. Debate contribution: Urban Drainage Pilot Project: Update

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    Yes, absolutely. The more we utilise nature-based solutions, the more sustainable it is. As I mentioned, I have introduced the Bill. It is an exciting time, because it shows innovation. So much work has gone into the Bill, and, from speaking to developers and representatives of the construction industry, I know that…

  8. Debate contribution: Urban Drainage Pilot Project: Update

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I have secured £15 million over the next four years from the public-sector transformation fund to develop and deliver a pilot project that will use nature-based solutions to help transform our urban drainage systems. The aim is to provide a range of nature-based drainage and flood management solutions to demonstrate…

  9. Debate contribution: Sewage: Belfast Lough

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I agree. That is the point that I am making. None of us underestimates the fact that it is a really live and significant problem. If I had all the money to do the work, we would not be having this conversation, but the reality is that we do not. Difficult decisions have to be made every day on the budget. That does…

  12. Debate contribution: Sewage: Belfast Lough

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    I will answer the second part of the question first. I have made my approach clear on numerous occasions, particularly on securing additional investment. At every stage, whether monitoring rounds or whatever it may be, we try to garner more funds to do as much work as we can. It is fair to say that the whole Executive…

  14. Debate contribution: Sewage: Belfast Lough

    • Ms Liz Kimmins SF
    • Oral Answers to Questions
    • As a minister

    As I said on the overall issue of waste water infrastructure, the Member is familiar with the three-pronged approach that I referred to in my previous response. That is the way forward at present. However, in the interim, I have been working closely with NI Water to look at other ways in which we can do as much as…

  15. Debate contribution: Sewage: Belfast Lough

    Any amount of raw sewage going into Belfast lough is totally unacceptable, but everyone agrees that the waste water treatment works that discharge into Belfast lough require considerable investment to bring them up to the compliance standards that are coming down the line. Has the Minister a strategy to find the…

    NI Water treats approximately 73 million cubic metres of waste water per year at the five main waste water treatment works that discharge into Belfast lough. NI Water has advised that its models indicate that, on average, only 70,000 cubic metres of untreated sewage from waste water treatment works are discharged into…

    First, I send my best wishes to Setanta. I hope that he has a great first day and many happy years in St Malachy's, which is another great school in our constituency. As a parent of a P2 pupil who is going into P3, I know that this time just flies. I am sure that you and your wife are very excited for the time ahead.…

  18. Debate contribution: Schools: 20 mph Speed Limits

    Minister, I declare an interest: my wee fella started at his new school, St Malachy's in Camlough, this morning. His first day was very nerve-racking and exciting at the same time. I was approached by a concerned member of staff, who asked me how to get a 20 mph speed limit control zone outside St Malachy's on the…

    I thank the Member for his question. Just last week, I met Sustrans, which does significant work in schools. I am aware that the Department helps to fund the cycling proficiency scheme. There is lots more that we can do and that I am keen to do. The Member will know that I recently announced that I will take forward…

  20. Debate contribution: Schools: 20 mph Speed Limits

    Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. To go back to the topic, while we certainly welcome a 20 mph speed limit outside schools — I have heard this question asked regularly in the Chamber, and I will ask it again today — what action are you taking to encourage children to cycle and walk and use walking buses to get to…
