Statement by Jim Allister MLA:
“The absence of any bus shelter provision in Kells is not good enough, and it is time for Mid and East Antrim Borough Council to provide it.
“I have been in contact with the Council and they are actively seeking land on which to erect a bus shelter – that is positive, but until such a time as Kells has this essential amenity then it is not good enough..
“For too long Kells has been neglected in this basic provision, this has left school children and other public transport users waiting in the open often having to endure bad weather.
“It is time to give Kells the same facilities as elsewhere.”
