Progress on the development of two new 3G pitches in Carryduff and Lisburn has been praised as contractors are due to be appointed.
Plans had been approved for the creation of the new pitches at the Lough Moss Leisure Centre, Carryduff, and Laurelhill Sports Zone, Lisburn, however work had not got underway despite support from local communities for the projects.
Now, following a meeting of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council Full Council, a contractor for the developments will be approved and work will be able to start in the near future.
