Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether there are any plans to resurface Breda Drive, South Belfast.

Answer:

My Department has been operating in a difficult financial environment for a number of years and this has had a significant impact on its ability to deliver essential services such as road maintenance.

Whilst there are many roads that would undoubtedly benefit from investment, including Breda Drive, due to a limited budget, resurfacing work must be taken forward through the prioritisation of those deemed most in need of intervention.

Officials are currently developing the 2025/26 resurfacing programme, and this will be provided in the Department’s Annual Report to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council.

In the interim, my officials will continue to undertake regular inspections of Breda Drive and repair defects in accordance with my Department’s current maintenance policy.
