Description

Description	The Newry, Mourne and Down Council proposed a cable car and visitors' centre in Rostrevor, Mourne Mountains, aiming to attract 365,000 visitors annually by 2029 with an estimated cost of £50 million. The project faced environmental concerns from the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) and opposition from the National Trust, which refused to lease land for the visitors' centre. Due to backlash and environmental reservations, the council is considering relocating the gondola project to a site 15 miles away.
