Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“Having long campaigned on the issue I greatly welcome confirmation today that Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy has won the battle for funding for the A26. The state of the road has been a constant bugbear for both residents and visitors. It is one of the main arteries in our Province, has one of the highest daily vehicle usage figures, and has a tragic death rate. There has been a pressing need to upgrade it for many years and today’s news will be welcomed both in North Antrim and further afield.”
