Paving the way ahead

Work has started on the new footpath on the Whitewell Road after a campaign lead by Sinn Féin.
Praising the determination of local people Gerry Kelly said: “For years the absence of a safe footpath on this stretch of the Whitewell Road has meant either having to walk into dangerous on coming traffic or cross twice on this busy road particularly in dark winter evenings."
"Parents had major concerns about local children's safety and with the leadership of Tierna they battled with the statutory bodies for safe access."
"Winning this campaign is great work by local people and will put many minds to rest when young people are out playing and going to friends homes in the area."
"Local efforts such as this mean a lot to residents and combined with traffic calming measures together we can design a safer environment. I would encourage residents across North Belfast to organize around vital local issues such as this and Sinn Fein is here as a resource to help,” Said the Sinn Féin elected representative.
