Plans for Planters moving ahead
Work at the site has been ongoing with plans submitted to ABC Council for the new creche to be considered later this month
Local MLA Carla Lockhart expressed her confidence the proposal would be approved: “I am delighted to see this almost over the line. It will be great to see a new crèche and day nursery in Waringstown creating childcare facilities and jobs locally. I would wish Paula and Darren Gilbert every success.

At the time they cited difficult conditions in the restaurant trade and said they wished to consolidate their efforts at the Seagoe, where there has been ongoing significant investment.
