Council NO Followed By Public Protest
Drama at council over Tesco plans
In March Moyle Council split in relation to the application by Tesco to build a store at Leyland Road.
Seven councillors - made up of Sinn Fein and SDLP - voted not to send a letter of support to planners for the Tesco store at that location.
Five other councillors voted to support Tesco and after the vote, DUP councillor Robert McIlroy said it would be interesting to see the reaction of local people to the decision.

It was my impression that an alternative plan for a supermarket site and offices adjacent to Station Road had been lodged with the divisional planning office. However, an official there assures me that it has only been lodged as a query and is not in the process for validation where it could acquire a reference number and become accessible to the public for scrutiny.

I've received an indirect request from Cllr Padraig McShane, in association with his sister and Moyle District Council chair Cllr Cara McShane, for the publication of plans for an alternative site for the supermarket and office buildings in the vicinity of Station Road, Ballycastle. If these plans have yet to be officially registered with the Planning Service I would need an outline map showing the proposed location, access and egress routes and possible Planning Service objections as well as the name of the unnamed developer and proposals for dealing with traffic congestion in the vicinity of the Diamond.

Have the invitations to the public meeting by the end of May been sent out?
