Hutton welcomes cemetery road resurfacing investment
'A massive improvement for both drivers and pedestrians and will make journeys easier'
The investment of £300k to progress resurfacing works of paths and roads across Derry City and Strabane District Council cemeteries has bee welcomed by Cllr Aisling Hutton (Sinn Féin).
Cllr Hutton was speaking following Council's agreement of the funding allocation from its Repairs and Renewals Fund.
She said: “Concerns have been raised with me over the past year about the state of the roadways in particular within the City Cemetery. Thankfully some work did take place on the City Cemetery on the lower main trunk route.
"This was a massive improvement for both drivers and pedestrians and will make journeys easier. But there are still some pockets of bad surfaces on the roadways in the upper cemetery so hopefully this funding will go some way to help that and in other council cemeteries."
