Compiled on behalf of the Statutory Transition Committee for the new Lisburn City and Castlereagh District Council, which will come into being in April 2015, the Magazine highlights the boundary changes to the new electoral area, the enhanced powers of the new Councils and the transferring facilities and areas to the new Belfast Council area.

“There has been much talk over several years about local government reform and with the process now gathering significant momentum it is important that residents know how the changes will affect them.

“With the Shadow Council Elections taking place this coming May and the new Council officially opening its doors in just over twelve months it is a time of change and we will continue to keep residents abreast of these developments as they happen,” said Alderman Tinsley.
