Welcoming the work, the Housing Executive’s Acting Banbridge Manager, Denise McNally said, “This significant investment is great news for our tenants and demonstrates our commitment to providing well maintained homes in Banbridge. The scheme is intended to maintain the external fabric of these homes and is providing a range of general repairs as well as repainting the properties and will give the whole area a real lift.

“As with any scheme, consultation is of key importance and we will continue to liaise with tenants and their representatives throughout the duration of the scheme to ensure that they are kept informed of progress and to address any issues which may arise.”
