Lunn welcomes progress on Maze site but says more must be done

Alliance Lagan Valley MLA Trevor Lunn has welcomed the agreement between Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness to proceed with plans for a EU funded peace building and conflict resolution facility. They have also agreed to establish a development corporation to oversee the redevelopment of the site.

Trevor Lunn MLA said: “I am very glad that after several years of inaction we have finally seen some movement on the re-development of this site. Any progress is welcome but this decision was only made because if they did not make it now then they would lose the EU funding.

“There is still much work to be done and many decisions that will have to be agreed before the local area and Northern Ireland in general will see the benefits from this development.

“The long running saga of the re-development of the Maze site will continue and I look forward to the day when it has been completed.”
