I am pleased to announce this road improvement scheme in Ardallan Park, Mourne Drive and Rossmara Park, which represents an investment of £165,000, in the Warrenpoint area. This scheme will greatly enhance the road surface for all who use it and will better connect the local community and visitors to the area for many years to come.

“Our local engineering staff are working with our stakeholders to co-ordinate these essential roadworks and are publishing details in advance to help people plan alternate routes.”
