The consultation on Ballymena Electoral Office's future and that of five others here is LOADED against them staying open.
North Antrim MP Ian Paisley made the comment after meeting with Chief Electoral Officer Graham Shields.
Mr Paisley says Ballymena really needs to retain its Electoral Office:
Jury sworn in at Natalie McNally murder trial
‘Absolute relief’ for Chloe Mitchell’s family as trial to go ahead next month
Search operation under way after reports of man going overboard from ferry
Sentencing Bill, including Charlotte’s Law, to be introduced shortly: Naomi Long
Man dies following crash between car and van in Hillsborough
