He said: “The new pedestrian refuge islands adjacent to Hollybrook on the Hightown Road and on Mayfield Link will assist pedestrians crossing, especially at peak traffic hours.

“I want to thank Transport NI for delivering on these road safety matters; I trust the new measures will be warmly received by all residents as a positive step towards pedestrian safety in the area.”
