Belfast Council has agreed a spend of £25,000 of public funds for Coronation celebrations in the city later this Spring.
At the recent meeting of the Belfast City Council Strategic Policy and Resources Committee, elected representatives pushed through the spend, with only People Before Profit objecting to the proposal outright. The SDLP proposed the council only part funding the £25K.
The committee report disclosed details of the proposed programme of events marking the Coronation of HM the King and HM the Queen Consort over the bank holiday weekend of Saturday 6th May to Monday 8th May 2023.
