Planning deferred as councillors concerned over potential health risks | By Aaron O'Neill | Coleraine Chronicle | Tuesday 28 January 2020 | www.colerainechronicle.co.uk
Plans to build a new electricity substation and overhead lines in the Glenullin area have been deferred after councillors expressed concerns over potential health risks.
