Councillor and residents to continue fight


Pineview resident and Sinn Féin councillor Tierna Cunningham said although locals are angry and disappointed that plans to build 28 apartments close to their homes have been given the go ahead, they are not giving up the fight against the plans.
Residents of Pineview on the upper Whitewell Road are up in arms over a developer's plan to build four apartment blocks, which will make up 28 apartments on the wood at Pineview. The wooded area links Pineview and the Antrim Road and is one of the few green spaces left in the area.
"Obviously as a local councillor and resident I am very disappointed," said Tierna.
"There were numerous objections from residents and an objection from Belfast City Council but the Planning Service still went ahead and approved it. It is most disappointing.
"As a group of residents we will continue to challenge these plans as much as we can."
