Thanks to DfI for cutting back the roundabout at Stockman’s Lane and thanks to the residents who raised its condition with me at the residents meeting on 6th Aug - still some tidying up to do but this is a great start

Great video from the PSNI encouraging young people to think twice about antisocial behaviour and the impact it can have on their lives and future careers. As Chair of Belfast PCSP, I know how vital a strong community response is in tackling antisocial behaviour.

A huge step forward today as my Flags and Emblems Bill passes the second stage in the Northern Ireland Assembly. We are now another step closer to landmark legislation that will help ensure our shared public spaces are respectful and inclusive for everyone.

Great to attend the QUB sustainable travel event ‘lessons from the Fleadh’ and hear from speakers including Anne from Walk Wheel cycle trust, from Translink and DfI. Belfast has to move away from cars and towards walking wheeling and cycling if we don’t want to grind to a halt
