In the late 12th century Antrim became part of the Earldom of Ulster, conquered by Anglo-Norman invaders. Between the 8th and 11th centuries Antrim was exposed to the inroads of the Norse. who were pre-Gaelic Celts and probably related to the Picts of Britain. In the early Middle Ages, southern County Antrim was part of the Kingdom of Ulidia. In ancient times, Antrim was inhabited by a Celtic people called the Darini.

Customer queries should be directed to Waterline on 03457 44 00 88.As a coastal region facing Scotland, the county has some of the earliest and most continuous interaction with that country within Northern Ireland. NI Water would like to thank local businesses and the wider community in advance for their patience and cooperation while we complete this essential improvement work. Pedestrian access will be available to all properties at all times during this work. We will also endeavor to limit the duration of these disruptions. There may be intermittent interruptions to water supply and separate notifications will also be issued to residents regarding dates and timing of disruptions. Access for residents and service deliveries will be maintained via Oakfield Drive. Please also note that two squads will be working concurrently on North Road during July/August in order to fast-track the work and minimise disruption. Therefore, we would advise the public to use the diversions and signage that will be in place and to allow extra time for your journeys. However, the works towards Middle Road junction may still affect school traffic in Sept/Oct and delays should be expected especially during peak periods. We hope to have completed the works directly outside the school entrances before September 2016. This work is being programmed together to avoid the need for future disruption on the North Road, and the majority of work is taking place during the school holidays to minimise disruption to school traffic.ĭetailed traffic management arrangements have been discussed and agreed with Transport NI, and in order to keep disruption to a minimum for residents/businesses, the works will be completed in phases, from the Northland junction to Middle Road. The North Road will be closed to through traffic in both directions and motorists will be directed to use the signed diversions via Beltoy Road and Prospect Road. Work will then recommence on North Road on 18 July 2016 for approximately 13 weeks under a road closure from Prince Andrew Way junction to Middle Road in order to facilitate sewer and watermain works. There will be no work taking place on the North Road between 9 – 18 July.
The North Road will remain open to through traffic in both directions during this period. We anticipate that work to improve the sewerage infrastructure on the North Road will commence on 4 July 2016 until 8 July 2016 under a single lane closure at Prince Andrew Way junction. The watermains work will be undertaken by Farrans Construction and the sewer work by Campbell Contracts. The work will commence on 4 July 2016 and will take approximately 14 weeks to complete.
