Description

The new city manager for Craigavon, Mr Cage, talks to Jimmy Robinson about his role and the building of Craigavon. He is very optimistic about the development of the new town. 

Notes

The ‘new town’ of Craigavon, situated between Lurgan and Portadown, was created after the ‘Belfast regional survey and plan’ report written by Sir Robert Matthew was presented to the Northern Ireland government in 1963. Sir Robert proposed the creation of the town to accommodate a growing population and to encourage people to move out of over-crowded areas of Belfast.
