To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline the timescale for release of funding to deliver the Carryduff Greenway.

The Carryduff Greenway scheme is a Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council project. My Department provided a small amount of funding to assist in the development of a feasibility study and a detailed design.

I have inherited severe and challenging budget constraints and therefore have to look carefully at solutions to help support the delivery of projects to meet my priorities of connecting our communities and enhancing our environment. Over the coming weeks I want to carefully consider how the provision of greenways and other cycling infrastructure can assist as part of my vision to greater sustainable transport options that connect communities and improve lives.
