Councillor McGibbon has been involved in consultations with the Housing Executive on a scheme to close off alleyways in the Wakehurst area and it is expected that this project will be completed by the end of March.

He said: "I welcome the distribution of this information document and look forward to the completion of the scheme within the Wakehurst area.

"This project, which was taken up by Sinn Fein at the request of residents, will alleviate some of the antisocial problems that have plagued the area.

"I would urge the Housing Executive and CCSP, to pursue this scheme as a priority to ensure that it is completed on time by the end of March.”
