Road signs disappear in Mid Ulster with overgrown verges
“We are all well aware in recent months that UUP Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy has reduced Transport NI to barely a skeleton service which has been quite evident especially now in the warmer weather with grass road verges reduced to one cut a season without any strimming that leaves road signs overgrown,” said Mr McCrea.
“I want to make it very clear that my concern in no way reflects on the staff that man our local offices or the contractors who carry out the work, who can only work within their allocated budget from a Minister whose approach has crippled services on the ground.

“This approach by UUP Minister Danny Kennedy is unacceptable and should be reconsidered immediately.”
