Kelly calls for land to be used for community

North Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly has called for the former Felden Training site on Mill Road to be used for community:
"We are calling for this land to be made available for community development. The local housing crisis needs urgently addressed and the Felden site becoming available presents a fantastic opportunity for new homes and amenities for this area.

“I have written to the department concerned to clarify the status of the former Felden Training site on Mill Road.
“It is normal practice that government offer surplus land to other departments before selling on the open market.

“I have also pressed the Department of Social Development to express their interest in the site. This is a vibrant community and we must do all within our power to support progressive opportunities for development.

“However land in North Belfast is at a premium and that is why we are calling for prompt action to secure this facility for potential regeneration," said Kelly.
