New look Bandstand set for Broadway, Ballymena

Posted by | Feb 2, 2015 |

Ballymena is set for a new look at the ‘bandstand’ at Broadway in Ballymena. The new look will take away the existing ‘bandstand’ and replace it with a modern canopy which will have increased accessibility and provide a shelter which can be used for different activities. The Ballymena Times shared the news on their website last week. The Ballymena Times report that: “Councillors have approved design plans for the final piece of the Ballymena Public Realm ‘jigsaw’ – the tranformation of Broadway. The decision was made at committee level last week after members were given a presentation on the design proposal for a ‘canopy development’ at that site by consultants for the £4m Public Realm Scheme which, it was pointed out, is currently at the pre-construction stage. Anthony McGuigan of Whyte Young Green said that while Broadway is currently “a traffic island with a bandstand surrounded on all sides by roads”, it was proposed to connect footpaths to the central island by putting paving on some of the surrounding roads, with the facility to close off roads if required “for a special occasion”.” Click here to read the full report by the Ballymena Times and find out more about the new look bandstand set for Broadway,...

Ballymena Today loves Clean Eating

Posted by | Jan 30, 2015 |

Here at Ballymena Today we love food and the latest craze is clean eating. We reckon lots of Ballymena folks have made a New Years Resolution to eat more healthily and that is why now is a good time to investigate the Clean eating trend. Thankfully Clean Eating isn’t a diet – we are not fans of cutting things out of our meals. Clean Eating is actually a very simple concept – it is all about eating food which is as close to it’s natural state as possible. Avoid things which have been processed and refined foods in exchange for well prepared, healthily cooked food. So it does sound simple when it is explained like that but how easy is it to eat clean in real life. Here are some tips from Clean Eating Magazine which should help you make your meals healthier: Drink two litres of water each day.

At first this seems like a bit of an impossible task but once you find products that you like your shopping will be much easier. Keep away from bad fats. Avoid any food which has been deep fat fried or is high in trans-fats. Also keep...
