Lockhart Delivers Again For Seapatrick
Carla Lockhart MP • June 18, 2024
New tarmaced paths around Seapatrick have replaced uneven slabs after persistent lobbying by Carla Lockhart during her time as Member of Parliament for Upper Bann.
Lockhart, who is a candidate for Upper Bann in the upcoming General Election, shared her delight that the project in Seapatrick has been completed. Carla commented: ‘I have worked very hard over the last number of years to have these works completed. Many elderly residents had concerns about trips and slips on the old slabs. I’m very pleased to have helped deliver this outcome alongside DUP colleagues.
The DUP candidate continued ‘The new paths in Seapatrick are one of many local projects which I have lobbied for during my time representing the people of Upper Bann. Be assured that If you re-elect me you are getting someone who works all the time, not just election time.
