“His response indicated that his department is seeking proposals for a retail-led, mixed-use development to also include a parking facility.

“I believe this action, along with funding being set aside for other regeneration projects, will help Lisburn to become more attractive to retailers and consumers alike.

“The Minister also made mention of plans to implement a revitalisation project in Dromore. I am mindful that this has been problematic for the centre of the town but I hope the Department of Social Development will consider this matter seriously in the implementation of this plan.”
