Stormont wants the pavement cafes removed while the majority of councillors want them to remain
The appeal comes amid a standoff between City Hall and the Executive over pavement cafes remaining on Fountain Street and Castle Street. The department is asking the council to revoke temporary pavement cafe licences by two Fountain Street businesses, Voodoo public house and venue, and City Picnic restaurant.
At the recent full meeting of Belfast City Council, elected members backed a proposal from Alliance Councillor Sam Nelson for council officers to write to the Stormont Department for Infrastructure asking it to close off a section of Fountain Street away from traffic. “It gives them a little bit of time to look into it, and we can then protect pedestrians by erecting bollards. This will not relate to the cafe pavements themselves.”
“What is happening is that service vehicles are having to reverse on Fountain Street through a pedestrianised area, and they are having to reverse also up Castle Street towards the junction at Queen Street.” He said it was “a dangerous arrangement” and added the situation amounted to “technically a public road being blocked by a pavement cafe.”
