Mid Ulster District Council will survey Northland Village residents on installing Ulster-Scots street signs. A 51 per cent majority in favour is needed for approval, matching council policy.

The council also plans a survey at Lurgyroe Drive in Ardboe for English-Irish street signs.

Recent surveys at Knocknagin Road in Desertmartin showed opposition to English-Irish signs. Council issued 46 letters last February. Eight householders supported, 18 opposed, for 31 per cent in favour among respondents. Nineteen did not reply, one letter was invalid.

At Kingarve Road in Dungannon, 66 letters went out, 47 returned. Twenty supported English-Irish signs, 27 opposed, equating to 43 per cent in favour.

Chestnut Grove in Aughnacloy gained approval for bilingual signs. All 10 householders responded, eight in favour, two against, for 80 per cent support.

Ongoing surveys cover Ballymaguire Road in Stewartstown, Ballyvaddy Road in Dungannon, and The Oaks in Ballinderry. Results go to the Environment Committee on May 12.
