“I would like some justification as to why we are abandoning public footpaths,” says councillor
Belfast Council is asking Stormont to explain why it has made an order to abandon a stretch of footpath on University Road from public ownership.
The public footway is in front of an unused three-storey former office building, opposite the Tesco Express. It is in between the 3 Levels restaurant, and a former restaurant, Blaze Glaze, now unused after fire damage.The order was before the council for noting only.
At the City Hall Planning Committee this week, Green Councillor Áine Groogan told the chamber: “We have made requests in the past that we would get an explanation on these. It isn’t a particularly wide bit of public footpath, I am just wondering why that is being abandoned by the department. Planning Committee Chair, SDLP Councillor Carl Whyte said: “I have asked for a report before on what these were, but there is not a requirement , and I do agree with Councillor Groogan. We just get letters stating “this is it” - with no explanation.
