Traders to hold meeting to discuss impact of closure of Kilrea Bridge
The meeting will be held in the town this Friday afternoon
Following today’s announcement that Kilrea Bridge will remain closed for another three months, Retail NI is organising a meeting of local traders, political representatives, and members to discuss the impact on businesses and explore next steps to support those affected by the ongoing disruption.
The meeting will take place at 2pm on Friday, November7 at 24–26 Garvagh Road, Kilrea.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said: “The closure of this bridge for nearly four months will be a hammer blow to all traders in Kilrea, particularly as they lose so much vital pre-Christmas trade which sustains these businesses throughout the year.”
“The Executive needs to outline what support they will be providing to these businesses during this time to prevent closures and job losses.”
