£140K Road Project Gets Underway In Claudy
A £140,000 road improvement scheme is set to commence in Claudy tomorrow, Tuesday 26 February.
A section of the Glenshane Road, from the Letterlougher to Claggan roads, will be resurfaced in an effort to strengthen and improve the surface quality of the carriageway.
The work is expected to be completed by Saturday 23 March.
To facilitate the scheme, lane closures will be in operation between 26 February and 09 March.
A full road closure will also be required to facilitate the laying of final asphalt surface, however the public will be advised of dates and times in advance.
Work has been carefully planned to minimise any disruption to the public, however, road users should expect some delays and additional time should be allowed when planning any journeys.
Completion of the work on time is subject to favourable weather conditions.
Sinn Fein Welcome Renaming Of Robinson Centre
A Sinn Fein Councillor has welcomed the naming of Lisnasharragh Leisure Centre by Belfast City Council, saying it will make the east Belfast facility welcoming to all.
The sports complex, formerly known as the Robinson centre, became the subject of much controversy due to its naming after ex-DUP leader Peter Robinson.
The council took the decision on Friday 22 February to rename the Montgomery Road facility as it undergoes a £20 million regeneration scheme.
Sinn Fein Councillor Ciarán Beattie said he was pleased at the move.
"This name, in line with council policy, will ensure that the new centre will be welcoming and inclusive to all," he commented.
