£290,000 facelift for Limavady Main Street

Limavady Main Street will benefit from an investment of £290,000 as part of the Public Realm works.

The works, taking place between Linenhall Street and Market Sreet will see the pavements, kerbs, street lighting, litter bins, seats and parking areas upgraded.

Social Development Minister, Mervyn Storey MLA, has welcomed the news, saying: “Main Street is a well used commercial area in the centre of Limavady which has retained much of its historic character. The completed work will enhance its original features and create a quality Public Realm, complementing improvements already funded by my Department on Market Street, Catherine Street and Linenhall Street. 

“This £290,000 scheme will bring my Department’s investment in Public Realm enhancements in Limavady to over £1million and illustrates the continued commitment to the implementation of recommendations from the Limavady Town Centre Masterplan.”

The project has been designed and will be delivered by Transport NI on behalf of the Department. Work commenced on 26 January 2015 and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2015. 

Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy said: "This is a much needed Environmental Improvement Scheme. The scheme has been designed by our Roads Service Consultancy team and White Mountain Quarries have been appointed to carry out the works.”
