Fears are being expressed that a major housing development set to bring 500 new homes to Lisburn will be a “disaster” for traffic congestion as well as local schools.
A city councillor said the planned housing scheme is going ahead despite what he called “vigorous community opposition”.
The development, on Lisburn’s Glenavy Road near Ballymacash, has previously faced opposition from former First Minister Paul Givan. Now, party colleague, Lisburn South Alderman, Paul Porter, says he will be keeping a close eye on the scheme’s progress to ensure it adheres to all planning conditions. He has been critical of the local council previously for granting the housing scheme planning permission.
