Police are advising road users to expect traffic disruption in Ballycastle this Friday 19th and Saturday 20th July, due to the Red Bull Cliff Diving event taking place.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said:
“The event is due to begin at 4pm in Ballycastle Harbour and end at 7pm on both days, and spectators can view the diving from an accessible viewing area set up by the organisers which can be accessed on foot.
“With thousands of spectators expected, it’s going to be very busy in the area, with local diversions in place including, additional parking facilities within walking distance to the event, which traffic marshals will encourage you to use.
“There will be police cones placed in areas where parking is prohibited, so please be mindful of where you park in the town and please do not block any roads or pavements used by pedestrians.
“A recovery operation will be in place for those who choose to ignore the restrictions, as any unnecessary congestion caused by parked vehicles may disrupt traffic further, particularly emergency services who need access at all times.
“Officers will be on the ground to assist road users, but if you are not planning to attend the event, please avoid the area.
“For those who plan to attend, please leave extra time for your journey.”
