The mayor of Mid and East Antrim said he feels “badly let down” by police in events around the withdrawal of staff from post-Brexit checks at Larne Port.

Peter Johnston said council chief executive Anne Donaghy “almost had to chase to the chief constable’s office with a begging bowl” for a threat assessment.
