Causeway Coast and Glens Council committee approves over £100k for Portballintrae slipway repairs
Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s plans to repair and enhance the harbour slipway at Portballintrae have moved a step closer.
A Council committee approved a recommendation to progress the Portballintrae Harbour Slipway repair project to Stage 3 of the Council’s Capital Programme.
Stage 3 of the Capital Programme Gateway will see investment by Council of £124,711 plus VAT, with a 15% contingency.
Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Oliver McMullan added: “The harbour slipway plays a vital role in daily harbour operations and is well used by fishermen, boat owners and visitors alike.
“These essential repairs will help ensure the slipway remains safe, functional and fit for purpose for years to come, protecting an important local asset at the heart of the village.”
Once ratified by full Council, the project will move forward to delivery. It is hoped that the works will commence in March and be completed by the start of this summer.
