Alderman Baird
(1)  Following my previous representations regarding the high volume of traders operating from Ballintoy Harbour in summer 2021 can Officers give Council an update on action taken to date and plans for further controls? In particular, the report should focus on risks to Council posed by uninsured coasteering and water sports providers and the negative impact this is having on the goodwill which Council relies on from adjoining landowners. The National Trust have now acted to minimise risks and Council should do likewise.
Councillor MA McKillop
(2)  Repairs at Cottage Wood
