Health Minister Robin Swann has thanked staff who have worked tirelessly to deliver the Northern Ireland vaccination programme.

The school crossing patroller on Milnbank Road near Milnbank Gardens recently retired.

Tayside Contracts, who provide the service for the City Council, has not replaced the patroller, saying the crossing does not meet its criteria for allowing a crossing, in terms of pupils using it and vehicle movements.

I am very unhappy about this decision becuase the crossing is at a crucial location as vehicles come down the hill at City Road towards the site and I feel strongly that a crossing patroller is needed here.

I have therefore put in a formal objection to the removal of the patroller at this location.

First Minister Paul Givan and deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill have congratulated Tyrone on winning the All-Ireland following their victory over Mayo.
