ThisWeek group
The world changed in 2020, with the COVID-19 coronavirus, civil unrest in major U.S. cities and a polarized political climate as just a few examples.
Whitehall had its share of changes, too. Here’s a brief recap of five significant stories published in the
ThisWeek Whitehall News during the past 12 months.
Additional office and retail spaces will open in 2021.
Norton Crossing is built on the site of the former Commons at Royal Landing, a 42-building, 270-unit apartment complex the city purchased in 2016 for $5 million.
The Eisenhower-era apartment complex had been the subject of multiple property-code violations and generated its share of calls for police service, according to city officials.
Boat owners have been forbidden from tethering vessels to Carrick’s most historic pier in a bid to reduce further movement.
King William III Pier is being monitored for movement which has resulted in the structure at the harbour being fenced off.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s Harbours and Marinas Committee members were advised at a recent meeting that movement of the pier is continuing.
The location is where King William III landed and where a re-enactment takes place every year. The 329th Royal Landing anniversary pageant attracted a crowd of 15,000 to Carrickfergus in 2019.
The event was unable to take place this year due to Covid restrictions.
