'There may be relations to those who previously lived there still in our community'

The request by County Antrim Paranormal Research Association was approved initially earlier this month by members of the council’s Community Planning Committee.However, at a full meeting of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council on Monday evening, Macedon Alliance Councillor Billy Webb MBE proposed an amendment that permission is refused.
“There may be relations to those who previously lived there still in our community. I think that should have been considered before granting permission. Sentry Hill, a Victorian farmhouse, built in 1835, now a council property is associated with the McKinney family which first came from Scotland to Ireland in the 18th century. It was occupied by Andrew McKinney in the 1780s. The property remained in the family until 1996.
