The Ballynahinch bypass will go ahead as soon as funding is allocated.

That's from Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard.

The project has been shovel-ready for months but requires £35 million pounds to convert blueprints to reality.

Speaking yesterday the minister said a period of consultation will begin with stakeholders.

He said it'll aim to minimise related impacts on landowners that will be affected by the scheme.
