DUP Alderman welcomes funding for Co Londonderry Agricultural Show

A Causeway Coast and Glens Alderman has welcomed Council funding for this year’s Londonderry Agricultural Show.

One such successful applicant was Co Londonderry Agricultural Show Society Ltd who will receive over £6,400 to host the show at Aghanloo.

Last April, Alderman Aaron Callan warned the show was in danger of folding due to a lack of funding from Council, and said Council support was important for the only show of its kind within the county.

He added: “I know that they they just met the threshold, so hopefully that will improve as we go forward.

“As it is the last agricultural show within the county, and given that we’re in such a rural area, it’s important that we support the Agricultural Show as much as we can [and] I’m pleased to see that being taken forward.”
