Avril McAllister, NIHE's Area Manager said: "We're delighted our chairman had the opportunity to meet with local residents today and see firsthand the improvements we are making in people's homes.

"A kitchen is the heart of a home that's why it is so important that tenants have been given the option of selecting their own units, worktops and tiles, so they are getting the kitchen they really want.

"This investment is building on the Housing Executive’s continued commitment to maintain and improve our homes. Within the area we are delighted to have been bringing even more improvements to our tenants including, where need, double-glazing and more energy efficient heating systems."
