After ARCHES was formed in 1995, it was agreed that a visible sign of their plans for local improvements should be implemented as soon as possible. Money needed to be raised quickly so there was no time to make application to funding bodies in the usual way as that process tends to take considerable time.
Antrim Borough Council was approached and agreed to provide half of the £10,000 required if ARCHES came up with the rest. Thanks to local donations the £5,000 was raised and the lighting was installed.
