A DUP councillor under investigation for alleged conflicts of interest in a council's decision-making processes has been appointed chair of its committee on governance.
Linda Clarke is being probed by a standards watchdog over her role in planning and public funding decisions at Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council.
An investigation was launched in 2019 after it emerged Mrs Clarke did not declare an interest on planning applications lobbied on by her husband, DUP MLA Trevor Clarke.
