Kelly: Time to get real on Finaghy eyesore

SDLP Finaghy Councillor Niall Kelly has called on the Minister for Regional Development and the Roads Service to ‘get real’ and come up with a solution to a bridge which has been dubbed a ‘green monstrosity’ and ‘the ugliest bridge in Ireland.’

Fri 3rd September

Cllr Kelly said: “For almost two years now the people of Finaghy have had to put up with this green monstrosity of a bridge. It is an eyesore and blight on our local community. When this bridge was first erected local people assumed it was a temporary structure and that it would not be long before the previous red brick bridge would return. However two years down the line it is clear that the bridge is here to stay. In recent months the bridge has become a magnet for local graffiti artists and the ugliest bridge in Ireland has become uglier.

 

“I have written to both Conor Murphy and the Roads Service calling on them to come up with a solution to this problem. People I speak to do not want to see this bridge remain in its current state. They want to see the Minister get real and actually do something. The previous bridge was a local landmark- it is time the Minister respected the rights of the people of Finaghy and did something to improve this situation.”
