Cllr Logue said: “This will be welcome news for all local residents, in particular those who have suffered

repeatedly from intense flooding and damage to property.

“It was clear that the outdated drains system on the Largy Road was not fit for purpose. The drains were constantly overwhelmed during heavy downpours leading to misery for residents and treacherous driving conditions for

motorists.

“The major works required for the installation of a new culvert necessitated a prolonged road closure and traffic diversion. I appreciate this caused huge inconvenience for motorists, and I want to thank the public for their patience in this regard. I would also like to thank the Department for Infrastructure and trust the new culvert will finally resolve this longstanding issue.”
