Causeway Coast & Glens Council to appoint engineers to assess pothole damage at Coleraine's Riverside retail park

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council now says that it has taken “a significant step towards addressing long-standing concerns over the condition of the road”.

At a full Council meeting on June 2, chaired by newly elected Mayor Councillor Dawn Huggins, members agreed to appoint engineering consultants to assess the extent of the damage and provide detailed cost estimates for the repairs required.

A post on Council’s social media said: “The road has been the focus of public concern for some time due to ongoing safety issues. The appointment marks an important step in efforts to identify a long-term solution.

"As part of their work, the consultants will also examine drainage issues at the site to ensure any future repairs address underlying problems.”
