Three streets in West and North Belfast will get new Irish language signage as the council’s new policy for dual language signage swings into action after months of delay.
Belfast City Council ’s People and Communities Committee this week agreed new Irish signage for La Salle Drive, off Falls Road at BT12, Hopefield Avenue, off Antrim Road at BT15, and at Suffolk Parade, off Suffolk Avenue at BT11.
In the eight months since Belfast City Council policy on dual language street signs was changed to make thresholds easier, over 600 applications have been made for Irish street signs - with only one having been processed before the three signs approved this week.
