SDLP Upper Bann MLA Dolores Kelly explained a housing need was assessed and a housing association is to put forward a proposal for a mixed and affordable scheme to deliver 14 units with plans to be submitted to ABC council this week.

“Housing Associations are actively trying to identify a site for housing and await formal registration of these proposals with the NIHE Development Programme Group.”
