North Antrim Sinn Féin MLA Daithí McKay has welcomed Roads Service’s announcement that his proposal for footway provision between Rasharkin and Finvoy has met the criteria to progress for further more detailed appraisal.
Mr McKay said
“Already there is significant footway provision between Ballymoney and Finvoy and also from Finvoy towards Rasharkin. However from the village boundary to the north of Rasharkin out towards Finvoy there are a lack of footpaths and this is along a stretch of the road which can be treacherous for pedestrians to walk along.
“The proposal for footway here would cover an area of 2,500m and it is to be welcomed that it will now progress for further appraisal. Given the length of the proposal and the potentially high cost such a project would inevitably be done in stages. It is however at a preliminary stage and if it progresses further it will be subject to funding availability.
“I will continue to monitor this proposal’s progress and push for it to be prioritised. The fruition of this would mean that there would be pedestrian access from Ballymoney to Rasharkin, something that would be very much welcomed by walkers in the area.”
