Gerry Kelly said this week that the regeneration of Glengormley is a key priority for Sinn Féin.
The North Belfast MLA was speaking during a walkabout in the area with party colleague and Minister for Regional Development Conor Murphy.
A Sinn Féin delegation including Gerry Kelly accompanied his Assembly Executive colleague Conor Murphy on a walk about of Glengormley.
"Regenerating Glengormley is a key priority for Sinn Fein,” said Gerry.
“After a series of meetings with local people including traders, we invited Conor to view for himself the problems confronting Glengormley.
“Transport links, parking and traffic flow were just some of the difficulties we focused on today.
“Glengormely has seen a population surge in recent years. However the infrastructure hasn't kept pace. Breaking down the barriers to regeneration is vital and today's focus on the area will go some way to giving Glengormley the priority it certainly deserves."
Local Sinn Féin activist Gerry O'Reilly said that Newtownabbey Council has been one of the worst examples of partizan politics in the north and that having two Executive Ministers here today is significant.
“There's a stark contrast between the equality protections in the Assembly and the uncontrolled sectarianism of unionist controlled councils like Newtownabbey." said O'Reilly.
