Has North Down & Ards District Council’s hip new name been ditched already?

The row over a controversial new supercouncil name for North Down and Ards District Council has taken a new twist. Even though a decision has been made to change the name to East Coast Borough Council - a public consultation will now be launched with six names in the mix. Thousands have already been spent to consultants over it already, so what exactly is going on?

Ulster Unionist group leader on the council Ian Henry led the motion over this public consultation and presiding councillor Alan Graham of the DUP and independent councillor Austen Lennon.
