Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any actions her Department is taking to address the road condition on Main Street, Moira, specifically the increasingly uneven section close to the entrance to St John's Park.

Answer:

My Department has been operating in a difficult financial environment for a number of years due to underfunding and austerity by the British Government.

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. I have asked my officials to assess Main Street, Moira in the vicinity of the St John’s Park junction for possible inclusion in a future resurfacing programme.

Details of the resurfacing schemes planned for the 2025/26 financial year are included in my Department’s Annual Report to Council.

Officials will continue to undertake regular inspections and repair defects in accordance with my Department’s Limited Service policy.
