Improvement to paving in Donaghcloney welcome
Carla Lockhart MP • June 6, 2023
DUP MP for Upper Bann Carla Lockhart has welcomed the completion of improvement works to an area of paving at William Street, Donaghcloney. Residents had expressed concern at the state of the paving, which was uneven, broken and causing trips.
Carla Lockhart said:
“My colleague Mark Baxter and I have been engaging with Radius Housing for some time to deliver these improvements. For too long residents have had to put up with a really poor standard of paving, with broken and uneven paving, causing trips and posing a real risk of injury to those living here.
Radius has now completed a new paving scheme and the outcome is a vast improvement, with our safety concerns and those of residents now addressed. I am delighted to have helped achieve this positive outcome.
My thanks to Radius Housing for completing this improvement work. If anyone else has any similar issues in their areas, please bring it to my attention and I will endeavour to deliver a positive outcome for you.”
