Five sculptures commemorating the centenary of Northern Ireland have been approved for the borough of Ards and North Down.
Elected members of the Council’s Planning Committee unanimously approved sculptures this week, for Newtownards, Bangor, Holywood, Comber and Donaghadee. The applications were made by the council itself in each case, after a TUV motion was passed last June.
The proposed commemoration stones shall be 0.8m high, 0.7m wide and 0.5m long, and will have a map of Northern Ireland, with words forming a circle around it stating “Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Northern Ireland”.
