PLAN UNVEILS VISION FOR VIBRANT AND CONNECTED NEWTOWNARDS ROAD

An east Belfast Local Action Group brought together by EastSide Partnership, a neighbourhood regeneration charity, has unveiled ‘Our Vision for Newtownards Road’. A five-year plan which focuses on the role that a range of community, statutory and local businesses will play to support and develop a collective vision to create a unique and vibrant destination, connected with Belfast city and welcoming to all.

A Local Action Group convened by EastSide Partnership has been working to shape a community vision for the Newtownards Road in east Belfast. The group includes representation from community and statutory agencies, local residents and businesses, and elected members. The development of the plan has been supported with thanks by The Urban Villages Initiative, Belfast City Council and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.

Holywood Arches Business Association has revealed a destination brand to help promote Belfast’s Holywood Arches as a vibrant hub to shop, explore and relax as part of  Belfast City Council’s "Supporting Vibrant Business Destinations" initiative, funded through the Department for Communities Revitalisation programme.
