District Manager Eddie Doherty said: "This major improvement scheme is part of the Housing Executive's strategic approach to modernise its older stock, ensuring that our tenants have good quality, modern and comfortable homes.

"£1.6m is a huge investment and underscores our commitment in providing decent homes for our tenants in both rural and urban areas right across the province."

Mr and Mrs Blair from Mullaghboy Crescent said they are delighted with the improvements made to their home.

"We are very happy with the work and the way it was carried out. Everything looks so new and our kitchen is modern with more cupboards and storage space."

The contractor who carried out the improvement scheme was JFM Construction Ltd from Toomebridge.
