Whiteabbey Flood Alleviation Scheme Complete
The Department for Infrastructure has announced the completion of a £275,000 flood alleviation scheme in Whiteabbey.
The project was developed to reduce the risk of flooding to 29 properties in Whiteabbey through the replacement of an existing inadequate and structurally defective masonry culvert.
The scheme involved the construction of a new precast concrete box culvert in Glenville Way, and scour protection works downstream of the Shore Road.
These works were undertaken by Lowry Building and Civil Engineering.
Jolene Bunting Suspended From Belfast City Council
Jolene Bunting has been issued a four month suspension from Belfast City Council.
The Local Government Commissioner for Standards is investigating 14 complaints made against Ms Bunting's behaviour as a councillor.
However, Ms Bunting is the first councillor to be suspended while the outcome of the investigation is pending.
According to reports, Ian Gordon, the acting commissioner for Standards, has said that there is evidence Ms Bunting had failed to comply with the councillors' code of conduct, and said he found it likely that subsequent publicity is likely to have had a negative impact on public confidence.
