A plan for a European style 'piazza' in Newtownards has been scuppered by council cleaning issues.
Plans to give Conway Square in the town a continental flavour, with new seating and tables, came to a halt this week after the cleansing department of Ards and North Down Council raised issues that meant it could not meet a Stormont deadline.
Elected members heard at this week’s council meeting of the Regeneration and Development Committee (February 3) that the project would have received £80,000 from the Stormont Department for the Communities, with a condition it had to be commissioned by March 31.
