A Stormont department's bill for a multi-million pound Co Down regeneration plan has hit £10m in less than 10 years, it has emerged.
The figure was disclosed by the Department for Communities in response to an Assembly question from North Down MLA Alex Easton amid continuing delays to a £50m seafront development for Bangor.
In January 2021, Ards and North Down Borough Council’s Planning Committee gave their approval to the plans submitted by Bangor Marine Ltd for the site located at Queen’s Parade and Marine Gardens in the seaside town.
