“When Newry was granted city status eight years ago we were promised significant changes to the area’s infrastructure to ensure that Newry would be able to compete with the neighbouring cities of Belfast and Dublin,” said Mr Hyland.
“However, Newry still retains the unwanted accolade of being one of the worst bottlenecks in the whole of Ireland and this problem is compounded by the intolerable state of the roads that are characterised by ever increasing cracks and potholes.”
“As one who cycles the roads of the city every day of the week, I can vouch for their dismal deterioration, especially since the Christmas period.”
“Surely it is time Roads Service and the Minister got their act together and instigated a comprehensive and far-reaching review of the state of Newry’s roads and acted accordingly.”
