Councillor Wallace
I was delighted but not surprised that Ballymoney won this year's High Street of the year in the Retail NI awards. 

The Mayor graciously hosted a reception at my request to mark all the winners in the borough. 
This is such an accolade for Ballymoney that we as a council can and should mark, by placing signs below the Welcome to  Ballymoney signs. 

I therefore propose we do this as soon as possible to maximise the publicity of gaining this prestigious award. 

Alderman S McKillop
Provide the Environment Directorate's sustainable maintenance and upkeep plan for the tourist village of Bushmills (cross department plan) and details of any contribution from the Leisure and Development Directorate for additional cleansing and upkeep priority to special events such as the recent Salmon and Whiskey Festival.
