SOUTH BELFAST REGENERATION STRATEGY LAUNCHED
THE level of social need that actually exists in South Belfast can sometimes be masked by the perception of some of its more affluent areas, the Minister for Social Development, Maurice Morrow, has said.
Speaking at the launch of the South Belfast Partnership Board’s Regeneration Strategy for 2001 to 2004, a document, which has involved consultation with more than 300 key stakeholders in the area, the Minister said: "Considerable progress has been made to tackle the problems and this strategy will provide a focus for work in the areas of South Belfast where the greatest need exists.
“The level of consultation which has taken place underlines our commitment to a partnership approach as the most effective way of regeneration.
"We recognise the contributions which the voluntary and community sectors can make together with public, private and political interests. Indeed, all of us involved in urban regeneration are part of a learning family with common goals and reflecting the realities and nuances of the local situation."
