Hide AdCllr Duffy said he has contacted the DfI’s Road Service and asked for an emergency intervention with the land owners ‘to get it cut back ASAP’.
"This stretch of the footpath is a regular problem and would need a long-term solution.”
A Department for Infrastructure spokesperson said: “The Department has no plans to widen the existing footway or extend the footway to Scotch Street, Portadown, at this time. The Department will carry out an inspection of the Moy Road to identify areas of hedges and trees that require cutting to remove any hazard to pedestrians and contact relevant land owners as required.”
