Lockhart welcomes changes to Rugby Avenue plans
Rugby Avenue is a small cul-de-sac with a very narrow road way. Mrs Lockhart said that it was felt by residents living here that it would “not be able to cope with the large volumes associated with over 200 new homes”.
“I have worked extensively on this particular issue with primarily residents from Rugby Avenue, the planning consultants and local planners to resolve this matter,” Mrs Lockhart said.

“Whilst keen to see Banbridge progress as a hotbed for new housing it is imperative that current residents are not inconvenienced.”
