Riverside Path collapse taking a step further

BALLYMONEY Borough Council has agreed in principle to prepare an economic appraisal for the Riverside Park collapsed path scheme.

During a recent Leisure and Amenities Committee meeting, members heard that the appraisal would be submitted to the DoE in support of a loan application.

Councillors also agreed to consider the matter further as part of the on-going 2010/11 budgetary round.

The Director explained: “As members are aware this business was referred back to Committee by Council at its meeting on 7th December for further consideration.

“It is recommended that Committee further consider the matter and make recommendation to Council.”

In the ensuing discussion the Director responded to members questions. He suggested that in order to progress the matter, members might wish to agree in principle to undertake the work identified by the Working Group as essential as a capital scheme and in this regard [1] prepare an economic appraisal for the scheme and submit this to the DoE in support of a loan application and [2] consider the matter further as part of the on-going 2010-2011 budgetary round.

It was proposed by Cllr John Finlay and seconded by Alderman Frank Campbell.
