SDA Members Meet Rowallane DEA Officer Ellen Brennan

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council has recently established a Forum in each of its seven District Electoral Areas (DEA) supported by a specific DEA Coordinator. The Officer in Rowallane DEA is Ellen Brennan, and some members of Saintfield Development Association were photographed with Ellen (centre) at the Inaugural DEA Public Meeting in Ballynahinch Market House on Tuesday 23rd February.

Ellen will proactively work in partnership with the community to deal with local identified issues and compile the area’s action plan. The Forum will permit Council to consult with the Rowallane community on the way forward and actively involve them in making decisions that will impact on their daily lives. This is an exciting era within the new Council as communities, going forward, will have a local voice and will be directly influencing Community Planning in their DEA.
