Tyrone Farmers Fined For Pollution
Two farmers from County Tyrone have been fined a total of £1,525 for pollution offences.
A Dungannon farmer pleaded guilty and was fined £1,000, plus £22 court costs and an offenders levy of £15 at Dungannon Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Mr Colin Kelso, Gortavale Road, Rock, Dungannon, was fined for making a polluting discharge to a waterway.
The incident began on 27 February 2012 when Water Quality Inspectors acting on behalf of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) inspected an unnamed tributary of the Claggan River at Drummond Road, Rock, Dungannon and observed fungal growth on the bed of the waterway. The source of the polluting discharge was traced to a farm owned by Mr Kelso.

The source of the polluting discharge was traced to a farm owned by Mr Black.
£70k Dungannon Road Improvement Announced
A £70,000 road improvement scheme on Killyman Road/Killymeal Road in Dungannon is scheduled to begin on Monday 17 February.
The scheme is to remove the existing mini roundabout and introduce a traffic signalised junction. It is thought the development will take about eight weeks to complete.
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy said: "The new linked signal provision will improve traffic flow in this area, particularly at peak times. The signals will also have crossing facilities to improve road safety for pedestrians."
The new traffic signals will be linked to the existing signal controlled junction at Circular Road/Northland Row.
