Mason welcomes funding for Dundrum Playing Fields
Sinn Féin South Down MLA Cathy Mason has welcomed the allocation of funding to carry out essential improvement works at Dundrum Playing Fields.
Speaking following confirmation that funding has been allocated to upgrade the soccer pitch, the South Down MLA said: “This is very welcome progress for Dundrum and the many local clubs, schools, and families who rely on these facilities throughout the year.
“I welcome the decision to allocate funding towards essential works to the soccer pitch, which has been unplayable for significant periods due to poor drainage and surface conditions.
“These works, including drainage and levelling improvements, are vital to address health and safety concerns and restore the pitch to a safe and playable standard for everyone who uses it.
“Sport and recreational facilities are at the heart of our communities. Ensuring pitches are safe, accessible and fit for purpose is essential not only for local clubs and schools, but also for supporting health, wellbeing and community participation.
“Sinn Féin will continue working to secure investment in local facilities and ensure communities like Dundrum receive the support they deserve.”
