Hide AdCraig Jones, Translink Project Manager, said: “From the start of this project, we have been proactively engaging with the wider community in Lisburn to explain the importance of these essential works and have very much welcomed support from local people, organisations, and representatives across the community.
“We are now looking forward to working with Tonagh Primary School and Tonagh Neighbourhood Initiative to deliver environmental legacies, Live-Life Wellbeing Centre to support long-term community development, and the local charity Sensability, which supports people with learning disabilities, to deliver a programme of musical events.
“Together, these will help provide a long-lasting, positive legacy associated with the project in the Lisburn community.’
“We would ask for the continued support of the local community as we progress these works further over the coming weeks.’’
