A coordinated government response is required to tackle problem
concerning advertising lorries abandoned on bridges across main roads across
Northern Ireland.
I have raised the issue as a result of on-going problem with many lorries abandoned on
the Holywood Exchange Flyover on the A2 Bangor to Belfast Road advertising a
range of items including Pony Rides, Electrical Goods, Furniture and grass
cutting for many days.
Over the last few months I have been liaising with various
government agencies to resolve this matter which has caused a significant
number of complaints. Many motorists fear that the distractions could cause an
accident and a disabled resident has contacted me unable to travel to
Sainsbury's via her electric scooter as a result of lorries parked on the
pavement.
