Realm works praised
WITH the public realm works nearing completion in Lurgan and Portadown one local MLA has spoken out in support of the facelift for both towns.
Sidney Anderson of the DUP said at Monday's council meeting the criticism of the schemes had been unjust.
He said: "The contractors have worked tremendously hard since the work began. You can't do any job where you don't cause disruption, even if it's just DIY around the house."
