** New Social Housing Plans: Community Engagement **

AYTCG have been made aware of plans for new Social Housing apartments in Ahoghill.

The plans for 11 brand new apartments have been proposed by Alpha Housing.

This proposal is for land to the rear of 2-10 The Diamond, Ahoghill.

"Alpha Housing proposes to build these homes to help address the significant social housing need as confirmed by the NI Housing Executive. Our intention is to construct the following homes:

6 No 3 person, 2 bedroom apartments

3 No 2 person, 1 bedroom apartments

1 No 3 person, 2 bedroom WC apartment

1 No 2 person, 1 bedroom WC apartment

All apartments will be allocated through the Common Selection Scheme, administered by the Housing Executive, and based on an assessment of objective housing need.

Mainline Contracts hope to start work on site in early 2024."

Alpha Housing has launched an engagement exercise on the development. AYTCG have requested a meeting with representatives from Alpha Housing to address any concerns raised by the local community.

So, we invite YOU, the local people, to get in touch with us about any concerns you may have about these proposed Social Housing properties. We are more than happy to present your concerns to the housing association/developers on your behalf.

Get in touch if you want to voice your concerns.

Thank you.

Some useful advice, please take a moment to read.

A child can be groomed online by someone they know or by a stranger they’ve just met.

Online groomers may hide who they are by sending photos or videos of other people. They will share common interests, give gifts, and say all the right things to win their trust.

It's not easy for a child to tell if someone is genuine or not.
