Belfast is to pilot a Europe-funded 'Net Zero Neighbourhood' project, but questions are being asked about the initial suggestion for the location of the experiment.
At Belfast City Council ’s recent meeting of its City Growth and Regeneration Committee, elected members questioned the initial decision by council officers to trial streets in the Linen Quarter, with some arguing the city centre area is more of a business district than a neighbourhood.
The Linen Quarter, located behind Belfast City Hall and noted for its old red brick warehouses, stretches from the Grand Opera House at the bottom of Great Victoria Street to the bottom of the Ormeau Road, and was once the headquarters of Ireland’s global linen industry.
