A popular plan for a new primary school car park in West Belfast has been agreed by Belfast Councillors after a headmaster said it was a matter of “when and not if a child is hurt" by traffic on the Springfield Road.
The application had been delayed from last year for councillors to have a site visit, but at the recent meeting of Belfast City Council ’s Planning Committee, elected representatives unanimously agreed the provision of a car park with 24 spaces for Springfield Primary School, including access road and fencing.
The site is at 425 Springfield Road, and the application is by the Colin Bingham Education Authority, Armagh. The plan involves a new turn off from a nearby roundabout into the planned car park.
