So sad to hear of Stephen Walker’s passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Stephen through our shared love of Ballymena United and to read his wonderful prose and regular WhatsApp insights on each result, signing and season was a joy. A great Sky Blue. An even better human being.

Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has launched two powerful new road safety campaigns.

The hard-hitting campaigns – called ‘Priority List’ and ‘Control or Speed’ – address two of the main causes of deaths and serious injuries on our roads – speeding and, more generally, driver behaviour.

📹 This is Road Safety Week 2025.

Minister @LizKimminsSF: “Road traffic collisions deeply impact lives, not just of those involved, but their families and friends too. This includes those who are first on the scene and deal with the immediate aftermath – the paramedics, firefighters and police. "

This first episode looks at Belfast City Centre, the traffic congestion experienced on the run up to Christmas last year, and what’s being done differently this year to ease the situation.

🎗️🩵 THE STORY BEHIND THE RIBBON

Ballymena United are proud to unveil our third kit for the 2025/26 season, featuring a Sky Blue Ribbon in memory of Lydia Ross, who tragically lost her life in December 2023.

In Lydia’s honour, a contribution from all third kit shirt sales will be donated to Air Ambulance NI, whose support has meant so much to her family and the wider community.

Forever remembered. Forever part of the Sky Blue family. 🩵

Partnership working and honest conversations about what we can all do as individuals to be safer are vital if we are to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on our roads, Liz Kimmins has said. She was speaking after she attended a meeting with the members of the Road Safety Strategic Forum in Newry today.

This is a great #ActiveTravel scheme

[Department for Infrastructure @deptinfra]

🚲 Minister @LizKimminsSF took a cycle along the recently completed Stranmillis Embankment #ActiveTravel scheme.

The new red surfacing will increase safety for cyclists, highlighting their route ahead - and improved footway surfaces will make it easier for those walking or wheeling.

📣 Still time to take part in the #GetMeActiveNI challenge - You can sign up today https://t.co/XicuX8TRRx @SustransNI @Translink_NI @publichealthni @belfastcc

[Department for Infrastructure @deptinfra]

This week is #BikeWeek and to mark it we organised a Community Bike Ride with @greenatqueens @QUBelfast

It gave us the opportunity to highlight current BCN (Belfast Cycle Network) projects, inc a sneak park at the Stranmillis Embankment #ActiveTravel scheme before it opens to the public next week.

It also allowed for further engagement with QUB staff & students to understand what would enable us all to walk, wheel & cycle more freely.

An important message for all of us 👇

[Cool FM News @newsoncool]

🚍⚠️ ‘Children more at RISK around a bus than travelling on it.’

🚸✅️Infrastructure Minister @LizKimminsSF has launched a new road safety campaign to highlight the dangers children face when getting on and off buses.

New signs will be placed on the back of buses, warning drivers: “Children are more at risk around a bus than travelling on it.”

The Minister says she is also exploring legislative options—paying tribute to the family of 11-year-old Caitlin Rose McMullan, who was tragically killed in March after being struck by a car while exiting a school bus in Castledawson.

Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 was there.

“How was your journey?” The question posed by @LizKimminsSF when she spoke at the Inclusive Transport & Travel conference. Thanks to attendees and speakers who provided thought provoking answers and experiences. #TransportForAll #FoundationsForABetterFuture

[Department for Infrastructure @deptinfra]

📹 WATCH: Minister Kimmins @LizKimminsSF attended the Department's Inclusive Transport & Travel conference

The event brought together a cross-section of organisations to promote improved transport accessibility & inclusion #TransportForAll

Minister Kimmins: "Accessiblity in transport is more than providing ramps or designated seating, it is about working to create an inclusive environment. It is about dignity, equality, and the ability to live without barriers."
