Plans for the redevelopment of a vacant field in South Belfast have been welcomed by the local community who hope they will provide a boost to the area.
The field beside Queen's University PEC, which forms an unused part of Botanic Gardens is part of a project that will see the creation of an urban agroecological area on the grounds that will provide a number of benefits to the wider community.
At the weekend, local residents group Friends of the Field, started the development of a wildflower meadow at the site.
