RESURFACING works are underway at Colindale Park in Dunmurry.

The works follow concerns raised by residents about the condition of roads and footpaths in the area, with Sinn Féin representatives holding a number of meetings and site visits with the Department to push for improvements.

West Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Órlaithí Flynn welcomed the commencement of the works.

“We’ve been calling on the Department for Infrastructure to resurface the area for some time now and following numerous site visits and ongoing engagement with the Department, we’re delighted to finally see the works started," she said.

“Residents here have been incredibly patient throughout this process, and we want to thank them for their support and for working alongside us to help get this delivered.”

Councillor Siobhán McCallin added: “This is great to see, and we’re hopeful this is the beginning of a number of resurfacing schemes we’ve been advocating for across the Dunmurry area.

“Sinn Féin will continue pushing for improvements to our roads right across West Belfast, and we will keep constituents updated on the progress being made.”
