The Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has confirmed that it has used £430,000 of public funding to repair the Gobbins Cliff Path in County Antrim, after it was shut as a result of storm damage.
The money came from a £2 million maintenance fund which was earmarked for the coastal walk.
The path has already closed twice as a result of storm damage, but has remained shut since June last year due to extreme weather conditions and rock fall.
Councillor Audrey Wales, Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough, outlined: “We were very disappointed last year to miss our first peak season due to the unavoidable closure. The Gobbins is an outstanding natural and sometimes unpredictable attraction and the only guided adventure walk of its kind in Europe.
“Council had budgeted around £2 million for its maintenance work, which included work to restore the access path following Storm Frank in 2015. We have spent about a quarter of that budget to date, so this next phase to get The Gobbins open represents a significant investment in growing the local economy in Mid and East Antrim through the creation of sustainable jobs and tourism.
“We’re very excited to have a re-opening date confirmed. Booking lines will be open again early in May and we look forward to bringing people back to The Gobbins and to Mid and East Antrim for an exhilarating and exciting raw experience with nature.”
