The decision on this development in the Lagan Valley Regional Park has been delayed again. Please take a moment to ask everyone you know to sign the petition and share it on your social media. As time passes the importance of stopping this thoughtless development becomes more apparent.

Thanks too to Roisin for the fab photo of the Silverlines Moth from the development area.
