Info from DfI on new PUFFIN CROSSINGS. The 'Green Man' is on the console beside you rather than across the road to look at as you cross (which most people preferred, I think). The crossing detects if you're still on it & the traffic lights stay red as long as necessary, up to max

We call on everyone to use their influence to ensure that there are no more disgraceful attacks or unlawful intimidation. This entire community deserves better.

This afternoon I met with the DUP reps from those areas most impacted by the disorder over the last week. We discussed the wide range of issues, concerns and needs of the local areas. We will continue to listen to concerns, but importantly we will continue to seek solutions.

Met with groups at NICVA this morn, along with MPs from 5 local parties, regarding uncertainty over UK Shared Prosperity Funding, due to end next March. All agreed we would strongly lobby Government to extend this funding, supporting people with additional needs into employment
