The Chief Executive of Ards and North Down Council has blocked a DUP proposal to end any checks in the borough made by council officers relating to the Brexit Protocol.
At a full meeting of Ards and North Down Council this week, the DUP forwarded a replacement motion that was passed, asking for full details on Protocol checks in the borough, and ceasing actions relating to a service level agreement that gave funds to the council to make checks.
The council came under scrutiny recently after the BBC’s Stephen Nolan Show examined the case of a Newtownards shop owner who had noodles removed by council officers performing Protocol related checks.
