Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the road maintenance plans for East Antrim for the 2025-26 financial year.

Answer:

Resurfacing schemes are funded through my Department’s Structural Maintenance Programme; regrettably, for some time the available investment has not kept pace with what is needed to maintain all of our roads in a reasonable condition.

While there are many roads that would benefit from investment, due to limited budget resources, resurfacing work is taken forward through the prioritisation of those deemed most in need for intervention.

Details of planned resurfacing schemes will be included within the Department’s Annual Report to Council.
