There has been a welcome recently for a new 40mph zone introduced betweenBeltoy Road and Tongue Loanen in Eden.

Meanwhile, Ulster Unionist councillor Mark McKinty is calling for Mid and East Antrim Borough Council to formally name the Black Hayshed Road, in Ballycarry, which has never had a sign erected.

Councillor McKinty who has the backing of the village community group says the local identity should be preserved through a street sign for the route.
