Finlay: '˜Town has bright future'
Alderman Finlay said: “Ballymoney has been affected in recent years by economic and social trends which have led to a decline in the local retailing scene, with a resultant closure of some shops.
“However, I believe that Ballymoney has a bright future as a shopping town, and, while politicians have limited influence over the strategic decisions of the business world, I am doing all in my power to attract new retail outlets to the town centre.
