Building delayed by arson attack - Lavery
Young people who set fire to a new home being built as part of a major social housing development in the Torrens area are only harming their own community,” said a local Sinn Féin councillor Danny Lavery.
The Belfast Deputy Mayor was speaking after a home under construction in the new site was set ablaze last Thursday night.
Once completed the social housing development will provide 108 new homes for those on the housing waiting list.
The Sinn Féin representative called on local people to be vigilant and report on suspicious activity at the site and added it is the community losing out when the building work is delayed.
"I am calling on the neighbours to keep an eye on the site and report it if they see anything suspicious," said Lavery.
"These homes are badly needed and it is only local people who are losing out by the delays. The builders need to be given peace to complete them.”
