Contractors for the Queen's Parade regeneration scheme in Bangor, County Down, will move on site in late August to begin the next stage of works, Bangor Marine Ltd has announced.

The initial stage will involve installing security fencing at the McKee Clock Arena to allow construction of the new events space, marking a key step in the first phase of the development.

A spokesperson for Bangor Marine Ltd confirmed that the Bangor public will begin to see substantial progress on site from Thursday, August 28.
