Kells pitch plan welcomed by Swann

Assemblyman Swann said: “This is fantastic news from the Council that further work at the ‘Playing Fields’ has been given the green light.

“The next stage is to include the provision of a 55 metre by 44 metre, sand-filled, synthetic grass, multi-use games area, complete with ball-stop fencing, access road and paths.

“Kells and Connor have long been the forgotten villages, but the dedicated hard work of the local community association has paid off, with a number of its projects now coming to fruition. However, we know there is still a lot more to do. Special thanks must go to Connor Presbyterian Church, which worked along with Ballymena Council to make this terrific sports development possible.”
