A local authority in Co. Antrim has been criticised for taking down posters advertising an upcoming concert by country music star Nathan Carter in aid of Cushendall GAA club.

SDLP councillor Anne McKillop says she is disgusted after flyers in the area were removed by Causeway Coast of Glens Council, while stacks of tyres which will be set alight by loyalists ahead of the Twelfth celebrations are being ignored.

"Hundreds of lorry tyres have been gathered up and are now going to pollute the atmosphere for weeks afterwards, attacking the health of children and older people with respiratory problems," she said in the Irish News.

"Of course we want to live within the law and will endeavour to do so, but when you at lampposts littered with paramilitary flags and every conceivable piece of toxic material, including tyres in villages all around you where there can be no benefit to the community, you begin to wonder what is going on."
