🌄 What do you think about cable cars in the Mournes? 🚡

Gondolas would take visitors up to a visitor centre in the MournesIt's a scene you'd associate with the Alps - cable cars full of tourists snaking their way up mountains.Nestled close to the south Down coast, the majestic Mourne Mountains attract their fair share of visitors.

The ambitious project would see gondolas or cable cars going along a 1km route through the mountains from Donard Park.The council said it aims to cater for 350,000 visitors annually and hopes the project would be completed in 2029.The council believes the project would bring hundreds of thousands more visitors to the Mournes

Alliance Party assembly member Patrick Brown said his party has concerns about the environmental and visual impact of the project, as well as doubts about it financially. "It would be naïve to say we're not in competition with the Giant's Causeway, the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, with the Titanic Centre, the Marble Arch Cave," he said.

The DUP abstained in this month's council vote - councillor Glyn Hanna explained they want to see exactly what the final project will look like before fully committing to it. "If something wasn't correct in there I think they would have found it, we're not talking about back of cigarette paper figures.""If this project doesn't go ahead the £30m's lost, it goes back," he said.It's not the economic details that has the National Trust concerned.
