The Strangford Lough and Lecale Partnership is a stakeholder group comprising representatives working to conserve and protect our natural, cultural and built heritage in the Strangford and Lecale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, coordinated and facilitated by Newry Mourne and Down District Council, supported by Ards and North Down Borough Council.
