Petition for footpath upgrade in High Street

A PETITION is being circulated calling for improvements to the footpaths on High Street.

The petition, the 'MAIL' has learned, is being circulated by Lurgan Forward who are calling on traders to support a major initiative for a footpath upgrade.

A spokesman said: "Over the years High Street has been totally neglected in all public realm initiatives and the footpaths are in dire condition.

"Lurgan Forward are co-ordinating an initiative to lobby for this and improve the appearance of High Street, which has many independent retailers in it."

A significant number of traders on High Street have already signed the petition which specifically calls for a footpath upgrade and not a public realm scheme - which has proved so controversial in the Market Street/Church Place area.
