‘I am delighted that the green area in front of the Craigantlet Cottages has been transformed through this recent investment by the NI Housing Executive. The new environmental works which includes new landscaping, trees and new grassed areas has given this a area in this development a positive transformation and I would like to thank the NI Housing Executive and Gary Hilliard and his team for carrying out these works. We have been lobbying over many years to ensure investment in this area and I am pleased with how this scheme has turned out.’

Ards & North Down DUP Councillor Stephen Dunne added:

‘This work is very welcome and I know the local residents are delighted to see investment in this area. This most recent work compliments the work completed relatively recently by DfI Roads in getting the road way resurfaced and it is always important that more rural communities like this are not forgotten about by the relevant agencies.’
