Plans are firmly in the pipeline to revitalise Cullybackey for the benefit of both locals and visitors.
Cullybackey Development Association has applied for Village Renewal Funding of £24,750 under the North East Rural Development Programme (RDP) with the aim of creating a community garden; fencing, signage etc; flower containers, street furniture; and, visitor information points.
The Association also sought 25% match funding from Ballymena Council and there was good news at last Monday night’s Economic Growth and Development Committee when councillors agreed ‘in principle’ to the funding request for a maximum of £8,250.
