🚧 Busy Week of Community Action! 🌳🛣️ Over the past week, I’ve been out and about tackling local issues to help improve our area: 🛣️ Pushing for much-needed road improvements – highlighting where repairs are most urgent. 🚮 Noticed a rise in fly tipping – these incidents have…
Another busy but rewarding week! Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been working on: 🏠 Helping residents with housing issues 👮♂️ Meeting with the Police Ombudsman to raise local concerns 🚧 Reporting numerous issues to DFI Roads for attention 🛂 Assisting with passports Happy to help
🌟 Hope Wins This Week 🌟 This week, I witnessed a reminder that support, safety, and strength can lead to a great outcome. When a constituent finds the courage to leave an unsafe situation and begin a new chapter — one filled with safety, support, and hope. Thanks to the help…
The genocide in Palestine continues. Every bit helps, so well done to Culturlann Leath Chathail for the coffee morning to raise funds.
Busy week on the ground! 🏘️ ✔️ Spoke with NIHE & community groups ✔️ Met PSNI re: safety 🚓 ✔️ Raised anglers’ concerns with DAERA 🎣 ✔️ Clarity on Downpatrick Library 📚 Thought it was the gully cleaner… nope, just the pothole jet! 😅 Still progress! 💪
Spotted the gully cleaner in town yesterday and I won't lie — I nearly waved like it was Santa on a float. Never thought I'd get emotional over drainage, but here we are. Heroes don't always wear capes… sometimes they drive very loud trucks and smell faintly of wet leaves.…

Shocking to hear reports of a young girl being sexually assaulted. Hope this young girl and the family have all the support they need to get through this awful time. If anyone can provide any information please contact PSNI on 101
🪧 Road closure sign for Saul Way this Sunday spotted… eventually. Shoutout to the mystery author who wrote it in font size: microscopic 👀😂 Perfect if you're an ant on wheels. 🐜🚗 Here’s the actual info (in human size): Saul Way closed Sun 9th June, 6am–3pm. Plan ahead!
As genocide continues in Gaza, the SDLP is calling on the UK to recognise Palestine, like Ireland, Norway, Spain and others already have. It’s not a radical step. It’s a moral one.
Wishing everyone the best of luck in this decider. Two strong teams
🚜 Delighted that my motion backing the ‘Nip it in the Bud’ cancer awareness campaign passed at Council tonight. Rural communities face real barriers to early diagnosis, and that needs to change. @FCNcharity
Do you live in the Downpatrick area and have some free time on your hands? We need some new volunteers to help support prosecution witnesses attending Downpatrick court. Full training is given😊 @oonaghhanlon76 @cllr_sharvin @cllrmcmurray @colinSDLP @conor_galbraith
🚸 Slow Down – Keep Chapel Town Road Safe 🚸 I've been contacted by a number of concerned residents about vehicles speeding along Chapel Town. We’re urging all drivers to please slow down and be mindful of your speed. It only takes a second for something to go wrong.
