Blackhead Path Will Not Reopen Until 2019

Blackhead Path in Co Antrim will not reopen until December 2019 due to recent subsidence concerns.

An engineer's report found the path was at risk of collapsing. It moved 30cms in the last year and 17cms in the last month. Large cracks were also identified along the path.

It was first closed earlier this month.

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council held a public meeting on Thursday, 23 August, and discussed how to fully restore the path.
