John Laird for Christmas?
John Laird (Lord Laird of Artigarvan) is unionism’s jester.

Also investing in the Park, Castlereagh Borough Council (supported by the EU Building Sustainable Prosperity Programme, administered by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment) built the Visitor’s Centre which houses the café.

We knew there would by a desire for people to enjoy small simple pleasures in their otherwise hectic lives and that’s what they find in the Park and in the Lock Keepers Inn.”
