"The decision to supply much needed street lighting in this area will be welcome news to residents.

"This new lighting in Ballynagard will replace the old concrete ones which were outdated and inefficient.

"The new lamps are placed at a higher level and have a wider lamp than the existing lights and will therefore enhance visibility and safety for vehicles and pedestrians."
