A long running saga surrounding the re-opening of an entrance gate into a South Belfast park, and the tussle between council and residents over potential antisocial behaviour, is coming to a close.
Belfast City Council has revealed some of the “mitigating” measures it will take to allay concerns of Lisnasharragh residents worried about the reopening of an old gate entrance into Cherryvale Playing Fields from Knockbreda Road. The gate has been closed for over 20 years, due to previous concerns about anti-social behaviour.
In a report for the council’s recent People and Communities Committee meeting, elected members approved that the council would spend £17,800 on the erection of fencing around the substation and rear of houses at Rosetta Road, resurfacing of the triangle of land outside the current gate, and providing additional bins.
