Belfast’s “Pandemic Heroes” are to receive the Freedom of the City, during a free concert at the Waterfront later this summer.
Belfast councillors heard details of the plan honouring the contribution of city’s frontline workers and communities on August 25, during the council’s most recent Strategic Policy and Resources committee.
Council Chief Executive John Walsh told elected representatives: “From September 2021 to March this year we had a programme that was aligned to the UNESCO City of Music Programme. That has now been completed and it can be set up to realise a notice of motion to celebrate the city’s frontline workers, in terms of their contribution in that Covid period.
