Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of roads which currently require (i) resurfacing; and (ii) partial resurfacing in Mid Ulster.
Minister for Infrastructure: My Department has been operating in a difficult financial environment for a number of years due to underfunding and austerity by the British Government.
While there are many roads within the Mid Ulster District Council area that would benefit from investment, due to limited budget resources, resurfacing work is taken forward through the prioritisation of those deemed most in need for intervention.
Details of the resurfacing schemes planned for the 2025/26 financial year will be included in my Department’s Annual Report to Council.
Officials will continue to undertake regular inspections of the road network in Mid Ulster and repair any defects in accordance with the Department’s Limited Service policy.
