In reply to a request for information on potential upgrading of Neva Place the head of planning (Mr G C Russell) replied as follows in his letter dated 28th February 2008.

"...Regarding improvements to Neva Place and the frontage to Main Street, I would confirm that this proposal has been under consideration for some time and that the Planning and Transport Department will continue to allocate funding from the Environmental Improvement Budget. However, as you mention, the delivery of the works is in part dependent on the outcome of the application for Maxwell Place and the agreement of existing land owners.

This being the case I would state that the Council will continue to pursue the delivery of these works at the earliest opportunity but appreciate the patience of the Community Council while the necessary legal processes are completed..."
