Upper Whitewell Road residents who campaigned for traffic calming measures in the area, backed by local Sinn Féin councillor Tierna Cunningham, have been celebrating this week with the news that work on the measures is due to begin.
The Roads Service carried out a traffic survey in the area and last week announced they would be putting measures in place to slow traffic. The department will be erecting slow signs along the road as well as slow markings on a red surface on the road. The footpath will also be lengthened to go the whole way up to the Antrim Road on both sides.
"I am delighted that the work is going ahead and it is going to make a big difference to the lives of the people who live here," said local Sinn Feín councillor Tierna Cunningham.
"I would like to congratulate residents on their successful campaign and I hope now that their safety and that of their kids will be protected."
