Sinn Féin host Belfast Neighbourhood Renewal Groups


A meeting of Neighbourhood Renewal groups from across Belfast was hosted by Sinn Féin on Thursday in the City Hall.
Speaking after the session Sinn Fein’s Social Development Spokesperson Carál Ní Chuilín MLA said:
“I’m delighted at the fantastic turnout today and that so many people have come along to voice their concerns.
“Neighbourhood Renewal is a good and progressive concept which if introduced effectively will place the communities needs and the delivery of services and equality at the heart of local government.
“Sinn Féin set out our vision of how this should proceed and took this opportunity to update local groups.
“We are clearly campaigning against deprivation and for social justice for communities through our work on the Social Development Committee and see Neighbourhood Renewal as a major part of getting it right.
“Finally the clear message from today’s meeting was community planning is vital and must be accountable, effectively structured and properly resourced,” said the Sinn Féin MLA.
