The sun is shining now on Ballymacash Community Allotments after the removal of large trees that had kept the allotments in shade.

The allotments are part of the Ballymacash Community Village, which has developed from the Ballymacash Sports Academy.

Ryan Brown, one of the directors at the Ballymacash Sports Academy, said: “Here at the Academy, we are more than a football ground, we are fast becoming a Community Village and the allotments are an important element in that village. The Ballymacash Community Allotments are a great success, thanks to the vision of our Academy Manager, Neil Woolsey, and funding from Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council.
