Fans hear stadium progress

Supporters representing the Bring Ards FC Home campaign have held a short meeting with Council officials to hear the latest progress on the Londonderry Park upgrade.

Local councillors agreed recently that a planning application should be submitted for the development, that will see the present playing fields at Portaferry Road upgraded to include, among other elements, an arena suitable for Intermediate football.

A small delegation of Ards supporters subsequently met with Council Director of Leisure Services Archie Walls, who outlined that the planning application was due to be submitted and that a schedule for works was being formulated.

Councillors have also agreed again, in principle, to support the entire development and have asked that a report be brought back detailing where funding might be sourced.
