The chief executive of Roads Service (Dr. Malcolm McKibbin) has been asked to write to the hon. Lady in response to this question.Letter from Dr. Malcolm McKibbin to Mrs. Iris Robinson, dated 8 November 2005:You recently asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland a Parliamentary Question regarding what the total cost has been of upgrading roads and footpaths at (a) Lagan College and (b) the Millennium Primary School in the Strangford constituency.I have been asked to reply as this issue falls within my responsibility as Chief Executive of Roads Service.Following the receipt of a number of requests from various interested parties, Roads Service carried out a minor works improvement scheme at the junction of Manse Road and Glencregagh Road at a cost of £660,000.The scheme, which was completed in 2004, included the provision of a new widened and realigned carriageway; right turn pockets at Lagan College and Glencregagh Road; improved sightlines at the Manse Road/Glencregagh Road junction; and the construction of approximately 1.3 km of new footway to provide continuous pedestrian access on Manse Road between Four Winds Roundabout and Lagan College.Colleagues in the Department of Education (DE) have also confirmed that road improvement works were carried out at the site of the new Millennium Primary School in 2003 as a condition of the school's planning approval. These works, which were necessary to ensure satisfactory means of access in the interests of road safety and the convenience of road users, cost approximately £330,000 and were funded by DE.Subsequent to the school opening, it became apparent that drivers were not observing the signs and road markings and that safety was being threatened by illegal overtaking manoeuvres in the vicinity of the school. To address this, Roads Service installed further traffic islands, signs, road markings and lighting at a cost of £29,000.I hope this information is helpful.
