Access permission granted for Rasharkin substation
The controversial proposal on land 300m west of 269 Finvoy Road was last month backed by councillors following a recommendation from Cllr Cathal McLaughlin that an agreement had been reached on the future of Rasharkin Flying Club, one of the objectors. Cllr McLaughlin also explained that he and the constituent had therefore withdrawn their objections.
And at last Monday’s Full Council meeting, Alderman Frank Campbell raised the issue again stating: “Access is needed from Council to go ahead with the substation.”
