Kelly Delighted With Funding For Bridge At Melvin |
|
SDLP Strabane District Councillor Patsy Kelly has expressed his delight at the council’s successful bid for £873,000 of Active Transport funding from the Department for Regional Development
The money will permit the construction of a pedestrian and cycle bridge at Melvin.
Cllr Kelly said: "The completion of 2.4km of pedestrian and cycle access will be a major boon to people in residential districts of Strabane and increase not only the physical amount of access to the town centre, but also the types of transport which can be engaged in.

"Despite all the potential pitfalls along the way, my council colleagues and I were prepared to fight all the way for this bridge, and, speaking for the SDLP in the town, I am absolutely thrilled that DRD has accepted our bid and I look forward to the many added benefits the bridge will bring in terms of access, health and bringing communities together."
