13.01.2022 A great day out in Coleraine planting trees. It’s been a while coming but it should be a scenic improvement for the entry in to town. A terrific job done by the kids from Coleraine Primary School in helping with the planting.

11.01.2022 Almost 2 weeks into our stage 3 lockdown and it has been quite a challenge. As we all adjust to the new restrictions there has never been a more important time to ask RUOK? Our lifestyle has been turned upside down and it can play all sorts of games with our wellbeing so take some time to call your family, call your friend or check on your neighbours. Especially the elderly to ask Are you okay? Keep up the great work. Together we will get through this.
