Improvement Scheme In Magherafelt To Begin
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy announced the start of a £95,000 major road improvement scheme on the A31 Church Street, Magherafelt this week.
Resurfacing work is due to commence on Sunday 29 September between Broad Street and Station Road between the hours of 7pm and 6am to Thursday 3 October. The road will be reopened to traffic in between the night time closures. A diversion route can be used via the B42 Tobermore Road and the A6 Glenshane Road.
The Minister said: "This scheme will involve improving the road surface and will increase the life expectancy of this busy trunk road. The scheme is expected to be completed on 3rd October."
Durkan Welcomes Springtown Road Traffic System
SDLP MP Mark Durkan, MLA Mark H Durkan and Northland Councillor John Boyle have welcomed the installation of traffic lights and a new slip road at the junction of Springtown Road and Foyle Springs Road.
The party has been lobbying the Department for Regional Development to introduce these measures for many years in order to make the busy junction safer for drivers and pedestrians.
Mr Durkan said: "This long sought for system will be welcomed by people living in the Foyle Springs area and the many road users who travel through this extremely busy route. As someone who had an accident here before, I am only too well aware of how dangerous a junction this was."
Business Women Should Build Up Their Networks - Cochrane
Alliance Finance spokesperson Judith Cochrane MLA has highlighted the importance for business women to build up their networks. She was speaking after she attended 'Networking for Growth', an event run by Women In Business at Hillsborough Castle. Cathriona Hallahan, the Managing Director for Microsoft Ireland, was the guest speaker.
Judith Cochrane MLA said: "A key point was made at this event - that your network is your net worth. For business women who have faced difficulties in building contacts, events like this can be very important in developing networks.
"If we are to grow the Northern Ireland economy and in particular the private sector, then we must encourage and support people to get involved in the business world, especially women who are underrepresented in this sector.
"We need to particularly help those business women who have proposals for starting their own companies."
