Planning application in Broughshane is postponed

At last Thursday night’s Public Sector Liaison Committee meeting, members heard the application for 15 apartments to be built at the re-development of 1-3 Fir Park, was pulled from the schedule.

Councillor Paul Frew said the area already has to deal with traffic problems, he said: “There are double yellow lines but people choose to ignore them, and this brings the road down.

“It is a real shame and I have asked them (planners) to take this into consideration.”

Senior Planning Officer Denise Kerr told the meeting that traffic problems are a police issue, she said:” It’s not our remit to enforce parking restrictions, we cannot do police work.”
