Cllr Muir at Portavo Reservoir |
The Department for Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) should urgently progress their review concerning access to Portavo Reservoir car park following a recent decision to lock the gate and limit access.
I recently became aware that the gate at Portavo Reservoir had been locked and access was being restricted to this scenic beauty spot by DCAL. I immediately contacted the Angling section within DCAL and after lots of lobbying received an assurance that a review would be carried out concerning access arrangements to the Reservoir. Meanwhile serious Road Safety concerns continue to exist with visitors forced to park on the busy A2 Bangor to Donagadee road, often dodging cars which zoom close by.
