SDLP Moyle SDLP Councillors Catherine McCambridge and Dónal Cunningham are calling for urgent effective action to be taken by DARD, Rivers Agency, and DRD Roads Service in Cushendall and the Glens of Antrim to address the recurring flooding issue.

"Since 2007 we have had various DRD and DARD Ministers coming to the Glens to talk to locals and to pose for photographs with their umbrellas and Wellington boots.

“People in the Glens require action and both Departments have failed to provide it, people are fed up with empty promises and ineffective action.

"Every time it rains heavily, residents here live in fear of flooding.

"It is simply not enough for DRD and DARD Ministers to meet with people and make empty promises. They must deliver."
