Renovation Work Continues At Cultra Railway Station
Significant progress is being made to renovate the Cultra Railway Station in Co Down.
Alliance Councillor Andrew Muir said it was "fantastic" to see the much-loved location restored to its former glory.
Councillor Muir said: "Since 2011, my colleague, former Councillor and now Chair of Holywood Conservation Group Larry Thompson, and I have worked hard to ensure rapidly deteriorating Cultra Station House didn't hit the buffers and was instead on the fast track to a full revival after being seized by NAMA.
"Far too often we see historic buildings fall into a state of disrepair, but rather than let that happen to Cultra Station House, Alliance has consistently fought to see the arrival of a functioning site. That's now fully ready and promoting a positive sense of community spirit after many local people and organisations boarded the campaign, from Holywood Conservation Group to Ulster Architectural Heritage Society, a previous Environment Minister and even a Irish TD.
"This is a success story."
