§ Mr. GoodhartProvision of the community centre by Ards borough council was approved in principle by the Department of Education in October 1979. Transfer of the site at Wallace Place from south-eastern education and library board to the council has not yet been agreed. There have been recent discussions with the board about the future use of the site which adjoins Movilla high school, and the results of a feasibility study by the board on a possible extension to the school should be available shortly. Further action will be subject to the availability of the site and the outcome of the Government's present review of public expenditure.
