She revealed 300m will be resurfaced as part of the Avenue Road resurfacing scheme scheduled for July/August.

“It is ten years since I first started to lobby for the resurfacing of Pines Park, so to get this commitment at long last is long overdue.

"The road is in a terrible condition and has been for many years. When the commitment was given to resurface Avenue Road I felt it was an opportunity for DfI to address my concerns in Pines Park. I am glad this work will be done for residents.

"I know there remains outstanding issues with regards the width of the entrance into the development and the surfacing of Pines Close, Grove and Court.

"I will continue to press on these issues but am pleased that some progress is being made.”
