Staff at a County Antrim council have been given time off in exchange for agreeing to park their cars farther away from their work.

Antrim and Newtownabbey Council has defended the unorthodox arrangement at its Mossley Mill headquarters.

A "whistleblower" quoted by the Antrim Guardian claimed that by parking away from the offices it was possible to get 45 minutes off in lieu.

"You can start early and claim flexi-time as well," the source said.

In a statement, the council said car park spaces were sometimes required for the large numbers of people making use of conference facilities at the mill, and that these facilities generated £145,157 of income in 2017/18.
