Germinal factory to be demolished
Carla Lockhart MP • August 16, 2022
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has received confirmation that the Germinal factory in Banbridge will be demolished by the end of August. The local MP had been contacted in relation to anti-social behaviour at the site, and had engaged with the property owner to seek a way to address site security.
Carla Lockhart said:
“Over recent weeks I have been approached by a number of people expressing their concern at ongoing anti-social behaviour at the site of the former Germinal factory in Banbridge.
Further to this, I engaged the site owner to pass on these concerns and to seek a way forward that alleviated the issues around ongoing anti-social behaviour. I am pleased to confirm that the owner has indicated that the factory will in fact be demolished by the end of August. This will hopefully bring an end to the anti-social behaviour.
In the meantime I would encourage people to stay away from the site. No access is permitted, and that should be honoured to ensure the safety of everyone.”
