Councillor’s credit for Minister Kimmins
Independent Crotlieve councillor, Mark Gibbons, has praised Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins for her ability to get things done!
Normally the world of politics sees rivals slate each other through press releases, but Cllr Gibbons has come out in praise of the Newry and Armagh MLA for tackling a number of matters in the local area.
In a statement issued this week, Cllr Gibbons said: “Since Liz Kimmins took on the role of Infrastructure Minister, I’ve genuinely noticed a big difference.
“Long standing issues I’ve been trying to get over the line, particularly housing estate resurfacing and upgrade works in places like Warrenpoint and Rostrevor, are finally being tackled after years of lobbying and requesting.
“It’s hard to see that as anything other than the result of Liz’s straight talking, no-nonsense approach and her clear commitment to getting things done.”
Cllr Gibbons said that he had had the “privilege of working alongside Liz both as a Councillor and as a past member of Sinn Féin”.
He added: “I know just how driven, focused, and grounded she is. She listens, she acts, and she follows through and that makes a real difference to local communities.
“I am not involved in any of the big infrastructure projects, I'm just being honest on what I am seeing on the ground here locally. And I see progress.
“We’re often quick to point fingers in politics, but I think it’s just as important to call it out when someone’s doing a good job. Credit where credit is due, and Liz deserves it.”
