'There is genuine outrage across the community at what we see as the damage being done to our village but with no discernible benefit for local people'

Residents of a Co Down village have raised concerns about a proposed new development believing it will overwhelm the area's infrastructure and services.

Concerns were also raised that the additional building would place pressure on the already very limited waste-water network, parking, and require a number of ancient trees to be felled. “Its environment, made up of parkland and fields, contribute to its unique character. This is all being placed at risk by the plans, which come after a period of significant building and environmental loss in our village.

“The Hillsborough Residents’ Action Group intends to engage fully with the planning process in order to limit what we consider to be the potentially serious negative effects of this proposal,” said Mr Thompson.
