AQW 36711/22-27 – Resurfacing measures to repair the Battery Road

Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any timeline for resurfacing measures to repair the Battery Road, from Ardboe to Coagh.

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 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 are included in my Department’s Annual Report to Council.

In the interim, officials will continue to undertake regular inspections and repair defects in accordance with my Department’s Limited Service policy.
