Legananny Road subsistence must be addressed urgently
Carla Lockhart MP • November 21, 2023
Local MP Carla Lockhart has urged the Department for Infrastructure to take immediate action to address concerns with subsidence on Legananny Road, Scarva.
Speaking after visiting the site with DFI officials, the DUP representative said:
“This is a serious issue at Legananny Road and it is vital for the safety of all road users that we see action taken by the Department for Infrastructure that resolves the issues being caused by subsidence.
I am liaising with the Department on proposed works. It is vital that people do respect the official diversion in the meantime to protect all road users, and to minimise the disruption in the area.
Our roads need significant investment and I will continue to champion the needs of our local road network.”
