NIHE Tackles Killyleagh ASB Problem

“I wish to thank the Housing Executive for their quick response to local concerns.

Speaking about the project Housing Executive District Manager Aidan Brannigan said, “I know that residents are delighted to see the gate in place. Agreement with all residents was vital to allow work to proceed and with that goes the responsibility for ensuring that the gate is kept locked, if the project is to be a success. Once again we see the end product of the good working relationships that exist amongst the public and community sectors, in this instance helping create a safer, more secure environment for these Well Lane residents. “This project is also in line with our Rural Homes and People policy, through which the Housing Executive is committed to revitalising rural communities and working with others to assist in rural development.” PSNI Sgt Nigel Donnelly added, “I am delighted that this project has progressed and I wish to thank the Housing Executive for carrying out the work. This initiative will help resolve some of the problems that have been causing concern to local residents.”]]>
