Organised by the Belfast Conflict Resolution Consortium (BCRC) all the statutory bodies were represented as you’d expect, though quite why the PSNI felt it necessary to have 6 officers sitting in on the 2 hour meeting, with another two in a Landrover in the carpark, i’m a little uncertain. Provision …

Belfast City Council has just voted by 28 votes to 13 to allow St George’s market to open on a Sunday. The Council’s Development Committee, now headed by Conor Maskey, voted against an amendment tabled by the DUP, which asked for the proposal in the minutes to be put back until a strategic plan could be put in place. It was effectively another delaying tactic by the DUP who have dragged their heels at every turn over the past few …

The Waterworks Park in North Belfast (off the Antrim Rd) was taken over by Belfast Children's Festival. Community groups, Youth clubs and Volunteers were there from 6am to help decorate the park with all manner of streamers and created 'mobiles'. Activities ranged from the usual face painting and craft activities to roaming performers,stilt walkers, jugglers and the like. Not forgetting the 30 second movie theatre (only 2 people at a time), a BMX/Skateboard demonstration ramp. The was also a live music stage where the best of up and coming musicians showcased their music. I heard one child ask her Mum if the park was going to be like this every weekend over the summer. A great event and one that'd i'd heartily recommend for next year.
