Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon

From LGBT History Project

Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon is the provisional name of one of the new local government districts for Northern Ireland to come into use from 2015. It will be created by merging the City and District of Armagh, Banbridge District and the Borough of Craigavon, though with the loss of half of Slieve Croob to Newry City and Down District. The main towns are Armagh, Lurgan and Portadown.
