16. Notice of Motion proposed by Councillor Kane, seconded by Councillor McCully:

That this Council acknowledges the important role dogs play as companion animals, and notes the concerns raised by residents regarding dogs being allowed off-lead in Riverside Park and Megaw Park, Ballymoney, particularly for people with disabilities, reduced mobility, and visual impairment, those with allergies to dogs, and adults and children with a fear of dogs; Recognises the importance of safe, designated spaces where dogs can exercise off-lead, and the need to balance the needs of all park users; Notes that while signage is currently in place within these parks stating that dogs should be kept on leads, these instructions are not supported by enforceable Dog Control Orders; and Resolves to: initiate the process of introducing Dog Control Orders requiring dogs to be kept on leads in Riverside Park and Megaw Park, except within the designated dog-run areas; undertake a scoping exercise to assess options for upgrading dog-run facilities in both, ensuring they are safe and secure, appropriately designed for different breed sizes, and provide stimulating environments for dogs to exercise and plan; engage with local residents, including those directly affected by off-lead dogs and with dog owners, to ensure the approach taken is fair, balanced, and reflective of community needs.

17. Notice of Motion proposed by Councillor Bateson seconded by Councillor C Archibald:

This Council recognises the need for improved, accessible, all-weather sports and recreational facilities in Kilrea, particularly to support young people, local clubs, and wider community wellbeing. Accordingly, Council agrees to include the development of an artificial surface playing field at Craiglea Gardens, Kilrea, within its Capital Projects Programme going forward. Council further commits to undertaking the necessary feasibility work, engaging with local stakeholders, and exploring external funding opportunities to help progress and deliver this important community facility.
