Alliance Home Vandal Released
A man who was arrested over an attack on the home of two Alliance councillors in Bangor, County Down has been released, pending inquiries.
The attack on Michael and Christine Bower's home in the Carnalea area on 5 December last year was considered to be part of the ongoing protests over the flying of the union flag at Belfast City Hall.
Paint was thrown at the front of the property and a window was smashed.
The 40-year-old man has been questioned over criminal damage.
Roscommon Man Arrested In NI
A man from County Roscommon has been arrested in Northern Ireland for failing to notify garda of a change of address, as required under the 2001 Sex Offenders Act.
The 45-year-old was arrested under a European Arrest Warrant and was detained in Enniskillen on Tuesday evening.
He is due to appear at Belfast's Recorders Court.
House Building Firm In Administration
Dungannon house-building firm Bush Developments has been placed into administration.
It is reported that the firm owes Ulster Bank over £11m.
Bush Developments (NI) owned sites at the Bush in Dungannon and on the Enniskillen Road in Ballinamallard.
The announcement follows news earlier this month that Ulster Bank had appointed receivers to the assets of Broomhall Properties, which is now in liquidation.
The assets in receivership are sites at Trewmount Road in Dungannon and Beechfield in Ballinamallard.
Garvaghy Road Resurfacing Plans Confirmed
A £250,000 resurfacing scheme is to begin on the Garvaghy Road in Portadown.
The work is due for completion by the end of March.
The new facility will enable Translink to extend the existing Metro 81/A and 82/A services.
The routes currently terminate on the Glen Road at Glencolin, however, once work is finished they will extend to serve an additional 215 homes in Hawthorn Glen and businesses in Work West Enterprise Park, Hannahstown Business Park and the Social Economy Village.
Danny Kennedy said: "Providing this new bus turning facility will mean an extension of the well served route and increase the numbers of opportunities for commuters and shoppers to travel to the city centre by bus.
"Residents of Hawthorn Glen will benefit from around 30 bus services every working day. The extended route will also provide a convenient service for those people working in the area."
