£1.3m To Complete Unfinished Developments
£1.3m in Road Bond funding is being unlocked by the Department for Regional Development to complete road works and utility services in three housing developments left unfinished in Belfast and Lisburn, County Antrim.
Financial difficulties experienced by three developers have left uncompleted developments - Chestnut Hall, Maghaberry, Mount Eagles, Belfast and Glenburn Manor, Dunmurry - to fall into disrepair.
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy said: "The Bond is a vital requirement within a development contract and is included to safeguard the public purse. Over the past months residents have seen DRD and NI Water complete the very significant amount of work required."
Frank Stewart, Developer Services Manager at NI Water, comments: "NI Water is pleased to advise that the sewerage systems serving developments at Mount Eagles in west Belfast, Glenburn Manor in Dunmurry and Chestnut Hall in Maghaberry have been successfully adopted. This good news follows the completion of work by NI Water which the original developer did not complete to a satisfactory adoptable standard."
