'Surely BMX Ireland along with NMDDC can find an alternative location that isn’t in a housing estate'
Controversy over plans for a BMX track look set to continue as local opposition shows little sign of diminishing.
The major cycling project is being part funded through the Special EU Programmes Body money under the PEACE IV programme which has provided almost £2m to 12 local projects.According to the NI Planning Portal the concept was approved in 2015, though a temporary expiry date on permission was dated June 2020.
“This facility would only have been opened once a month for competitions and would have been off limits to local children and residents alike, in other words it would be a closed shop,” said Mr Coyle. “It is an area popular with dog walkers and children, along with those who want to have some quiet time to reflect on the memory of their loved ones.“We are pleased to announce that these plans have now been scrapped thanks to all the hard work and campaigning.
