The ongoing flood risk in the border community of Pettigo is to be examined in greater detail through a cross-border assessment.

Flooding has seriously impacted many homes and businesses in Pettigo in the past, with huge concern being expressed about future risk.

A recent national review concluded that Pettigo does not meet the threshold for designation as an Area of Potentially Significant Flood Risk.

Sinn Féin MLA Jemma Dolan says agreement has now been reached between the Office of Public Works and the Department for Infrastructure Rivers to work together on assessing flood risk along the River Termon.

The Fermanagh South Tyrone MLA says cooperation is essential in delivering real solutions.
