The final removal of hoarding from the pavement and road surrounding the ill-fated George Best Hotel has been welcomed.
Botanic SDLP councillor Gary McKeown, who has been asking the Stomont Department for Infrastructure for several months to clear the area on Bedford Street, said: "The hoarding that surrounded the base of the scaffolding at the historic Scottish Mutual Building for more than four years was not only an eyesore, but created an obstruction on one of our busiest streets.
"Coming on the back of news that moves are under way to find a buyer for the site, I hope that this will ultimately secure the care and attention that this listed building needs. This is a landmark site at the heart of our city centre which deserves to be regenerated and given a new lease of life." Efforts to revitalise the project - formerly known as the George Best hotel - and complete its development were dealt a blow in May when a Belfast High Court judge ruled the property can be sold, leaving the bedrooms investors facing a loss of £4m.
