Ards and North Down Borough politicians are calling for more funding from Stormont and Whitehall for councils to spend on the Queen's platinum jubilee.
At the council’s recent Corporate Committee, a TUV motion received cross-party support to make an appeal to the Northern Ireland Executive and the Secretary of State to release more funds for the celebrations, despite Ards and North Down Council already having agreed to spend £100,000 on events and community funding.
The motion also tasked council officers to investigate "all possible external revenue streams" to identify money for the council's celebrations, including possible funding from the National Lottery.
