‘Through Planning Committee I understand Council plan to install a large number of lights at Ballintoy Harbour. Given this is a very special venue which has operated with the current lighting (7) for many many years has the Council considered 1. The need for such expenditure - what will the scheme cost? And 2 that this will interrupt the scenery of the night sky where so many people gather to witness the Northern Lights and take photographs.’
