Paul McNaught from the Department for Communities said: “This additional funding for Magherafelt will upgrade two important linkages in the town centre. The improved pedestrian experience should attract more people to the area which will help support local businesses and enable the town to continue to develop its status as a welcoming place to visit and shop.”
