A report into Belfast council’s processing of new Irish street signs has been commissioned after it emerged not one new sign has been made since the council changed its policy last summer.
In the six months since Belfast City Council policy on dual language street signs was changed to make it easier to apply, 600 applications have been made for Irish street signs. But not one has been processed yet, councillors have been told.
At the council’s recent monthly meeting of its Strategic, Policy and Resources Committee, Sinn Féin Councillor Ronan McLaughlin successfully proposed a report looking at the processing of dual language signs since the policy change.
