Parts of a Co Down dual-carriageway could be transformed into a wild-flower habitat, if council plans gets the green light.
Councillors are to approach Stormont’s Department for Infrastructure in a bid to reduce the amount of grass cutting that goes on at the road between Warrenpoint and Newry.
The move is hoped to see grass verges and other area at the side of the main route between the seaside town and Newry become more compatible with increased biodiversity.
