THE Market House in Ballynahinch is going from strength to strength since Down District Council purchased the building in July 2010. The purchase forms part of the Council’s programme of facility-led community development in the district, which has been highly successful and has resulted in an increase of usage of the centre over the last six months. In addition to the building being utilised by local charity and community group activities, the building is also used as an outreach centre by the NIHE and South Eastern Trust and for training seminars and advice clinics for the local community.
