Barr welcomes lighting of Riverside Walkway
Ulster Unionist Alderman Glenn Barr has welcomed the announcement of lighting columns on the pedestrian riverside walkway from Banbridge Leisure Centre to Dunbar Bridge/Kiln Lane.
Alderman Barr said there has been long standing anti-social behaviour issues in the area.
He said: “This has been in the planning for several years, indeed, I proposed this in the legacy Banbridge Council which shows how long it’s taken to come to fruition.
“The lighting up of the walkway will allow PSNI officers to safely enter the area carryout patrols and takes away that hazard for the PSNI and community safety wardens. It also offers that level of protection for people who want to enjoy this area for recreational activities.”
