Sinn Féin councillor Aoife Finnegan has welcomed the revitalisation works for Newtownhamilton moving to their final phase, while insisting there is potential to further develop the village.

The Slieve Gullion councillor said: “The Newtownhamilton revitalisation works will move into their final phase in the coming weeks.

“The works were funded from £200,000 delivered between the council and a number of government departments, and have been ongoing since July 2022.

“The scheme has seen the painting of derelict buildings, fencing at the Dundalk road, repairs to bus shelters, power housing throughout the town, new footpaths and bike racks at Jim Steen park as well as a scheme for shop fronts.

“All of these works will be a great boost to the local community and I believe that there is potential in Newtonwhamilton for a real regeneration.

“While all of these works will help to improve the aesthetics of the village, there are many other projects that could be a real boost to the village and the local community.

“Sinn Féin will continue working to secure investment to improve local communities across South Armagh.”
