Residents recently contacted me about the deteriorating state of parts of the car park and the access road from Riverside Drive into Tesco Riverside.

This is not an adopted road but maintained by Tesco PLC.    

The City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership kindly raised the issue with Tesco following my highlighting it and has received the following helpful response from the company :

“I just spoke to the management over at the Riverside Extra, they advise that they have recently finished the internal approvals for the maintenance of the car park, and are expecting work to begin within the next week or two.”

The Department of Health (DoH) today published statistics on the time spent in emergency care departments (ED) throughout Northern Ireland during the months of October, November and December 2020.

Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey has announced additional funding of £2.435m to assist councils with their financial pressures.

Economy Minister Diane Dodds has encouraged Northern Ireland businesses to check if they are eligible to apply for her Department’s Covid-19 grant schemes.

The Executive has agreed further funding allocations of £226.5 million following bids from Departments.
