Belfast Council is asking Stormont to explain why it has made an order to abandon a stretch of footpath on University Road from public ownership.
At the recent meeting of the Belfast City Council Planning Committee, questions were raised about an order made by the Stormont Department for Infrastructure to abandon an area of 26.5 square metres of footway in front of 29 University Road, South Belfast.
The public footway is in front of an unused three-storey former office building, opposite the Tesco Express. It is in between the 3 Levels restaurant, and a former restaurant, Blaze Glaze, now unused after fire damage.
