To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) for an update on steps, planned and taken, to reduce the negative consequences, such as noise pollution and traffic congestion, for residents near car cruise events in Portstewart and Portrush; and (ii) to detail any meetings she has, and plans to attend, to discuss mitigating the impact of such events on residents.

My Department has recently installed additional traffic calming measures, in the form of speed cushions, in the Lansdowne area of Portrush with the aim of limiting vehicle speeds and improving pedestrian safety. I can also confirm that senior officials from my Department are engaging with PSNI and Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council on further measures to reduce the impact of car cruise events in the Portrush and Portstewart areas.

I met recently with local officials in Portrush to see at first-hand some of the action being taken by my Department and I want to emphasise that, as Minister responsible for promoting and improving road safety, my Department will continue to work collaboratively with all partners to deal with the issues you have raised.

I am also committed to ensuring that my officials in the DVA continue to support the PSNI, and other agencies, to conduct compliance checks on vehicles using our roads, taking the appropriate enforcement action as required.
