We spotted that the lower bridge barrier was gone and went to investigate.

Patrick Commissioners said the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has told them it's spent a lot of money on remedial works.

One of the main talking points from the local authority's meeting came from a resident who asked the commissioners when the glen will be open to the public.

Chair Gordon Clague said DEFA has told him it could be open in September.

The glen was closed in November last year after a storm and landslips caused damage.

Remedial work to the paths and bridges were scheduled for earlier this year.

Mr Clague also said the department has spent a lot of money on the glen.
