I am pleased to advise that progress continues to be made across the Bangor waterfront programme. My officials are working collaboratively with council partners to support the development and delivery of that programme. Work to establish the professional teams required for the delivery of the programme continues, with three of the four projects having had a design team appointed. A further procurement exercise to appoint the fourth design team is expected to conclude before the end of 2026. In line with the latest programme submitted by Ards and North Down Borough Council, construction is expected to commence in 2027. Planning applications for the Pickie Funpark and Ballyholme Yacht Club elements of the programme were submitted recently. Those applications are being progressed by Ards and North Down Borough Council, and no significant planning issues have been brought to my attention at this stage.
