North Road ‘key route in borough’
East Antrim MLA Roy Beggs has welcomed news that Roads Service has agreed to add the North Road to a pool of schemes for inclusion in its resurfacing programme. The Ulster Unionist representative said: “I contacted Roads Service on March 21 to outline my concern at the condition of the North Road, highlighting in particular the busy section of road that links the Marshallstown Road and town centre. This section of road has many manholes which appear to be recessed below the level of the road and there has also been numerous excavations by various utility companies which has left a very poor quality of road surface.” In his letter to Roads Service, Mr Beggs said the area was ‘one of the busiest sections of road in Carrickfergus linking the Marshallstown Road and the town centre’. He added: “In addition, it is the main road servicing Carrickfergus College and Carrickfergus … Continue reading

Beggs Challenges Dickson on Alliance’s Anti-British Stance
Following the anti-British stance by Anna Lo MLA, the Alliance Party’s European Candidate, Roy Beggs MLA has challenged Stewart Dickson, their Party Chief Whip to clarify whether he condemns or supports this anti-British stance and the preference expressed for a United Ireland. Roy Beggs MLA said, “I find it insulting that the Alliance Party European Candidate states that she is ‘anti-colonial’ and I would question her irrational view that Northern Ireland would be ‘better placed economically, socially and politically’ in a United Ireland. The Alliance Party had been vague regarding their view on remaining within the United Kingdom. However, this outburst by their European candidate using words such as ‘colonial’ is more akin to the views of Irish Nationalism. I and the many British Citizens in Northern Ireland who wish to remain part of the United Kingdom find this language insulting. Northern Ireland has huge economic, social and political links … Continue reading
