Sinn Féin has criticised Belfast Council over a lack of "transparency and accountability" regarding a group of senior officials responsible for some key decisions made by the local authority.
At the recent full meeting of Belfast City Council Sinn Féin went head to head with Chief Executive John Walsh over the Chief Officer Management Team (CMT) - a group of senior council officers.
The party accused the group of making unaccountable decisions without the backing of elected representatives, including decisions surrounding the council park area at Divis Back Path, which became Páirc an Lonnáin this year, and connectivity between Upper Springfield and Black Mountain.
