Kimmins – History protected at Lindsay Hill after Council vote
Liz Kimmins, Sinn Féin Councillor for Newry, has congratulated Newry, Mourne and Down Councillors last night after they formally rejected plans to build a 25ft wide bridge over Lindsay Hill.
 
Speaking following the decision, Kimmins said that the concerns of residents had been respected, and Councillors had recognised the rich history and heritage of the Lindsay Hill area:
 
“I am delighted that this disruptive bridge project has been formally rejected by Newry, Mourne and Down Councillors.
 
“For many months I have been meeting with residents alongside other Sinn Féin Councillors to listen to the case for protecting the vibrant history and heritage of the Lindsay Hill site.
 
“The decision by the Council Planning Committee reflects the concerns of residents who have been vocal in highlighting the problems this bridge project would impose on their homes.
 

“We will continue to engage with Lindsay Hill residents, and support the many initiatives taken by citizens to promote the important history of their area.”
