Work starts on New Mossley homes

The scheme consisting of 49 properties will deliver a mix of two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom homes alongside seven homes built for those with complex needs.

South Antrim MP Paul Girvan has welcomed the start of the work on site.

Mr Girvan said: “This is a welcome development which the DUP in conjunction with the local community has been lobbying for.

“This will go some way to meeting the high-level of social housing need in the area and I particularly welcome the fact that the needs of those with disabilities will be met at this development.

“The DUP are committed to working with local communities to ensure further developments take place to ensure the needs of local families and our older people are met.

“I would pay tribute to my DUP colleagues and the local community in their hard work and dedication to deliver this successful outcome.”
