Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council has agreed to increase domestic and business rates following a meeting tonight.
The council has agreed to increase domestic and non-domestic rates by 3.64% in the next financial year, saying that it will allow it to "strike a balance" that recognises its challenging financial position and ability to invest in communities.
It says that the funding will allow it to develop facilities such as Dundonald Ice Bowl and 3G football pitches at Laurelhill and Lough Moss.
