NEW SIGNS POINT WAY TO THE FUTURE
23-4-10

‘There’s lots going on, but it is all behind the scenes’. That was the message from Lloyd McInally, Lafarge project manager on the Magheramorne Works Redevelopment Project, as he was joined recently by local MP, Sammy Wilson, and locals Maureen Hanvey and Charles Smith from the Islandmagee & District Conservation Society, to mark the occasion of the first project signs being erected since outline planning permission was granted last September for the redevelopment of Magheramorne Works.

As Lloyd explained: ‘There is often an expectation that once planning permission has been granted development will start straight away. But with a major development like the one at Magheramorne lots of things have to be done before work can actually start on site. The idea of the signs is, in part, to let people know that we have not gone away and that we are as busy as ever working on the project.

‘Amazingly, for a site of its size, it is also easily missed because it is not very visible from the main road. So hopefully for those travelling on the Carrickfergus to Larne road the signs will also help people to locate the project and appreciate what an incredible and exciting range of uses is proposed.’
