Old cinema demolition to complete removal of '˜eyesore buildings'
The old cinema on High Street - now minus its roof - will be the last part to be demolished and should be gone by this weekend, according to the team behind the 14-week project.
Removal of over a dozen “eyesore” buildings got under way in Ballymoney town centre in January.

The area has attracted negative attention in recent times due to derelict buildings and vacant premises.
In September of last year, the Department of Communities announced a £200,000 investment to help revitalise Ballymoney’s retail offering.
The scheme, which also attracted £20,000 Causeway Coast and Glens Council funding, takes Church Street, High Street, Victoria Street, Charles Street and Linenhall Street.
The aim is to support existing traders in the development of their business, promote the area as a destination for shoppers and improve the attractiveness of the shop frontages.
