A campaign to build a city centre park in Newry is singling out councillors who haven't openly backed it.

They've been highlighted red in a social media post.

It follows recent reports that a motion for the park will be brought before councillors on the 2nd of October at the next full meeting.

Albert Basin Park Project has plan drawings for the development on 15-acres of disused land opposite the Quays shopping centre.

The group says Newry is the only city on the island without a public park.
