Four streets in West Belfast will have new Irish language signage, as the council’s new policy for dual language signage begins to action new signs after months of delay.
Belfast City Council ’s People and Communities Committee this month agreed new Irish signage for Lake Glen Drive, off Falls Road at BT11, Lagmore Dale, off Stewartstown Road at BT17, at Iris Walk, off Springfield Avenue at BT12, and at Abyssinia Street, off Leeson Street at BT12.
In the nine months since Belfast City Council policy on dual language street signs was changed to make thresholds easier, over 400 applications have been made for Irish street signs - with only four having been processed before the signs approved in this April's committee.
