Answer
The current vehicular closure of Fairhill Street by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is due to ongoing stability issues with the Antrim Arms Building and the need to prioritise pedestrians by implementing a safety zone. Pedestrian access is being maintained along the road.
The temporary traffic management arrangement at the Diamond is operating successfully with no reported incidents since its introduction.
