Extra seat throws up endless possibilities

BOUNDARY changes have thrown the race in this former five-seat ward wide open with the Green Party and Sinn Féin set to battle it out for the new sixth seat.

Following a report by the Electoral Area Committee last year, voters in the former five-seat ward will elect six councillors this year.

Parts of Bishopstown and Wilton, especially around the Model Farm Road, as well as areas around Gillabbey Street and the Mardyke had been part of the north west ward.
