§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what action he proposes to take to remove the sewage retention tank on the edge of the main road junction of Ferry Street and the Strand, Portaferry, which constitutes a road hazard.
§ Mr. Peter MillsI am informed that the North Down Rural District Council is preparing a more efficient sewage disposal scheme at Portaferry, which will entail removing the existing sewage retention tank and replacing it with a tank of improved capacity and design. The new tank will be resited to improve the junction between Ferry Street and the Strand at Portaferry. It is hoped that this scheme will be completed next year and that the road improvement will follow shortly afterwards.
