Confirming the new locations, the DUP MP said:

“Over recent times I have been working with some constituents in Banbridge who have a range of mobility issues, and for whom it is vitally important they can move independently from A to B.

Often the lack of dropped kerbs can impair this independent movement. Having identified a number of sites of concern, I raised this with the Department for Infrastructure and I am delighted that we now have confirmation of the installation of new dropped kerbs at the following sites: Peggy’s Loaning, Entrance to Brookfield Industrial area, Entrance of Edenderry Park.

This is a very positive outcome to my representations. I will be providing some further information in relation to timescales in due course. In the meantime, we can be assured these works will be completed and I know it will make a big difference to those local people who need these dropped kerbs daily.”
